Product Details

Betaloc 50 MG Tablet contains Metoprolol, a medication used to treat various heart conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), angina pectoris (chest pain), arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), and thyrotoxicosis (symptoms from an overactive thyroid). It also helps prevent migraines and reduce heart damage following a heart attack.

This medication works by slowing down the heart's activity, allowing it to beat more slowly and less forcefully, which reduces the heart's workload and helps manage high blood pressure. It also helps prevent abnormal heart rhythms.
