Betablock XL 25 Tablet

Betablock XL 25 Tablet is an extended-release tablet that contains 25 mg of metoprolol succinate in each tablet. It belongs to the beta-blocker class and is used to help manage high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and certain heart conditions. By slowing the heart rate and reducing the heart’s workload, Betablock XL 25 Tablet can help protect the heart over time. This strength is made by Healing Pharma India Pvt. Ltd. and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Metoprolol succinate blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which helps the heart beat more slowly and with less force. In this extended-release tablet form, Betablock XL 25 Tablet provides a gradual release of medicine to help maintain a more even effect through the day.

Betablock XL 25 Tablet is the lower-strength option in this product line, compared with Betablock XL 50 Tablet and Betablock XL 100 Tablet. Doctors may choose Betablock XL 25 Tablet when a smaller dose is needed, when starting treatment cautiously, or when a patient is sensitive to blood pressure or heart-rate lowering effects. Because it is an extended-release tablet, it is designed for steady release over the day rather than a fast, short-lived effect.

• High blood pressure
• Chest pain (angina)
• Certain fast or irregular heart rhythms
• Heart failure, when prescribed by a doctor
• After a heart attack, in selected patients

• Swallow Betablock XL 25 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually once daily, at the same time each day.
• It may be taken with or without food; taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not stop Betablock XL 25 Tablet suddenly without medical advice, because heart symptoms can worsen.
• Use the tablet as the doctor directs even if you feel well, since blood pressure and heart benefits are not always felt right away.

Each Betablock XL 25 Tablet provides 25 mg of metoprolol succinate per tablet. For this extended-release strength, it is commonly taken once daily, but the exact dose and any dose increases are decided by the doctor based on the condition being treated and how you respond. The maximum daily amount varies by patient and condition, so do not increase the dose on your own.

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