Belol 100 mg Tablet

Belol 100 mg Tablet is an oral tablet that contains 100 mg of metoprolol tartrate in each tablet. It belongs to the beta-blocker class and is used to help manage high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and certain fast or irregular heart rhythms. Belol 100 mg Tablet may also be prescribed after a heart attack or for other heart-related reasons your doctor decides are appropriate.

How it works: Metoprolol tartrate blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and lowers the force of each heartbeat. In tablet form, Belol 100 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and then absorbed to help reduce the heart’s workload and lower blood pressure.

Belol 100 mg Tablet is a higher-strength version compared with Belol 50 mg Tablet, so it is usually chosen for people who have already been assessed by a doctor and need a larger metoprolol tartrate dose. Because it contains 100 mg in one tablet, it may be more convenient for patients who have been titrated up from lower strengths, but it is not meant as a first self-selected dose.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Fast heart rate or certain arrhythmias
• After heart attack care as prescribed
• Other heart conditions directed by a doctor

• Swallow Belol 100 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, at the same times each day.
• It may be taken with or right after food to help reduce stomach upset.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your prescriber or pharmacist says it is appropriate.
• If you are prescribed more than once daily, space the doses as directed by your doctor.
• Do not stop Belol 100 mg Tablet suddenly, because that can worsen chest pain or trigger heart problems.

Each Belol 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of metoprolol tartrate per tablet. Depending on the condition being treated, it may be taken once daily or in divided doses, but the exact schedule is chosen by the doctor. The maximum daily dose varies by indication and patient response, so your prescriber should determine the right total amount for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

• Clonidine, especially when starting or stopping either medicine
• Certain antidepressants that can raise metoprolol levels, such as paroxetine or fluoxetine
