Metoprolol Succinate 47.5mg ER Tablets
SKU GME899Product Introduction
Metoprolol Succinate 47.5mg is a prolonged-release beta blocker used for high blood pressure, angina and selected stable heart-failure regimens. It reduces heart rate and myocardial workload throughout the dosing interval.
How to use
Take with or immediately after a meal at a consistent time. Swallow the prolonged-release tablet without crushing or chewing. Any permitted splitting depends on the scored product design. Reduce gradually when stopping rather than withdrawing abruptly.
How it works
Metoprolol preferentially blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate, contraction strength and renin release. Prolonged release spreads delivery over time.
Side effects
Fatigue, dizziness, slow pulse, low blood pressure and cold extremities may occur. Fainting, worsening fluid retention or severe wheezing needs prompt assessment.
Important information
Heart block, marked bradycardia and unstable decompensated heart failure are important risks. Asthma and diabetes require attention. Verapamil, diltiazem, digoxin and other rate-slowing medicines can add to bradycardia. CYP2D6 inhibitors can increase exposure.
Uses
- Hypertension
- angina
- selected stable chronic heart failure regimens.
Benefits
Provides sustained reduction in cardiac adrenergic workload and helps control pressure or angina when a beta blocker is appropriate.
Is Metoprolol Succinate 47.5mg interchangeable with immediate-release metoprolol?
Not by tablet count alone. Succinate prolonged-release and immediate-release products can have different schedules and strength-expression conventions.
Why must it not be crushed?
Crushing disrupts the prolonged-release design and can alter delivery of the full dose.
Can it reduce exercise heart rate?
Yes. Beta blockade blunts the usual heart-rate rise, so exercise targets may need to use symptoms or perceived exertion rather than pulse alone.
Can it hide hypoglycaemia symptoms?
It can reduce warning signs such as palpitations; sweating or neuroglycopenic symptoms may still occur.
Why is abrupt withdrawal a problem?
Sudden loss of beta blockade can increase sympathetic activity and provoke rebound angina or more serious cardiac events.
