Egylok (Metoprolol) Tablets 50 mg. №60 Vial

Ingredients:

Each tablet contains 50 mg of metoprolol tartrate as the active ingredient.

Mechanism of Action:

Metoprolol, a selective beta-blocker, blocks the action of natural chemicals like epinephrine in the body, leading to reduced heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac strain.

Pharmacological Properties:

Metoprolol tartrate, the active component of Egylok tablets, selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors, exerting antihypertensive, antianginal, and antiarrhythmic effects.

Indications for Use:

Egylok tablets are indicated for the management of hypertension, angina pectoris, and heart failure.

Contraindications:

Avoid Egylok if you have a known hypersensitivity to metoprolol or other beta-blockers. Patients with certain cardiac conditions like heart block or cardiogenic shock should also avoid its use.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, bradycardia, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Rare but severe side effects include bronchospasm and heart failure exacerbation.

Usage Instructions:

The typical dosage is one tablet once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole with water, and do not crush or chew it.

Benefits Compared to Analogues:

Egylok offers advantages over non-selective beta-blockers by providing cardioselective action, reducing the risk of bronchospasm in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Suitable Patient Groups:

Egylok can be used in adult patients, including the elderly, with caution. It is not recommended for use in children unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric specialist.

Storage Conditions and Shelf Life:

  • Store Egylok at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
  • Protect from light and keep the vial tightly closed.
  • Check the expiration date on the packaging and do not use expired tablets.

Packaging Description:

Egylok tablets are supplied in a vial containing 60 tablets, each labeled with the product name, strength, and batch number for traceability.

Scientific Evidence:

Metoprolol has demonstrated efficacy in managing hypertension and angina. A study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology indicated a reduced risk of cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients treated with metoprolol.

Additional Information:

  • Avoid abrupt discontinuation of Egylok to prevent rebound hypertension and worsening of angina.
  • Consult a healthcare provider before initiating or discontinuing Egylok therapy, especially in patients with underlying cardiac conditions.
