Directions:

Scientific Evidence:

Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, 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.

Studies have shown that Metoprolol is effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension and heart failure. For example, the COMET trial demonstrated that Metoprolol significantly reduced the risk of mortality and hospitalizations in patients with heart failure compared to another beta-blocker.

Additional Information:

It is important to regularly monitor blood pressure and heart rate while taking Metoprolol to ensure the medication is working effectively. Avoid activities that require alertness until you are aware of how this medication affects you.

Discuss with your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking before starting Metoprolol to prevent interactions that could affect its efficacy or safety.
