Prolonox XL 50 Tablet contains metoprolol succinate (47.5 mg), which functions as follows:
• Beta-Adrenergic Blocking: It inhibits beta-adrenergic receptors in the cardiovascular system, thereby modulating heart rate and reducing myocardial oxygen demand.
• Cardiac Output Reduction: Metoprolol reduces cardiac output by decreasing heart rate and contractility, contributing to lowered blood pressure.
• Vasodilation: It facilitates vasodilation by reducing the heart's workload, alleviating symptoms of angina.
• Arrhythmia Control: The medicine stabilises abnormal electrical activity within the heart, aiding in controlling arrhythmias.
Should be used in pregnancy only when clearly needed.
Caution is advised.
Avoid alcohol as it may potentiate the sedative effects of beta-blockers, including Prolonox XL 50 Tablet.
Caution is advised.
