Belol 50 mg Tablet

Belol 50 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 50 mg of metoprolol tartrate in each tablet. It belongs to the beta-blocker class, which is used to help manage heart and blood pressure conditions. Belol 50 mg Tablet may be prescribed for high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), or to help control a fast or irregular heartbeat. This East West Pharmaceuticals product is taken by mouth and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Metoprolol tartrate blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and reduces how hard the heart has to work. As a tablet, Belol 50 mg Tablet is absorbed through the digestive system and then helps lower blood pressure and reduce chest pain or palpitations.

Belol 50 mg Tablet is a middle-strength option, between lower-strength tablets and the higher 100 mg tablet in this brand line. A doctor may choose Belol 50 mg Tablet when a smaller dose is not enough but the full higher strength is not yet appropriate, or when a gradual dose adjustment is preferred. Because metoprolol tartrate is short-acting, the tablet’s effect is usually felt over hours rather than all day, so the dosing schedule matters.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Fast heart rate
• Certain irregular heart rhythms
• Heart-related symptom control as prescribed

• Take Belol 50 mg Tablet by mouth with a glass of water.
• Swallow the tablet whole unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you otherwise.

Each Belol 50 mg Tablet provides 50 mg of metoprolol tartrate. Depending on the condition being treated, it may be taken once or twice daily, but the exact schedule is chosen by the prescriber. The maximum daily dose varies by diagnosis and patient response, so do not change the dose on your own.

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

• Belol 50 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet than low-dose starts, so it should only be used when a clinician has assessed your heart rate and blood pressure.
