Scientific Evidence:

Metoprolol, the active ingredient in Egylok tablets, is a selective beta-blocker that works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This results in a lowering of heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of metoprolol in the management of hypertension and angina. A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology showed that metoprolol reduced the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension.

Additional Information:

• Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
• Avoid abrupt discontinuation of Egylok to prevent rebound hypertension.
• Consult a healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
