Scientific Evidence

Metoprolol’s efficacy in the management of hypertension has been extensively studied. Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) demonstrated that metoprolol significantly reduces blood pressure and cardiovascular events compared to a placebo.

Additional Information

Metoprolol 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 helps to lower blood pressure, heart rate, and strain on the heart.

Clinical trials have shown that metoprolol is well-tolerated and effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. It is considered a first-line treatment option due to its proven benefits and safety profile.
