Metoder 50 mg Tablet XL

Metoder 50 mg Tablet XL is an extended-release tablet that contains 50 mg of metoprolol succinate in each tablet. It belongs to the beta-blocker class of medicines and is used to help treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart rhythm or heart failure conditions when prescribed by a doctor. This Metoder 50 mg Tablet XL comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets and is made by Elder Pharmaceuticals, India. Because it is an XL tablet, it is designed to release medicine gradually over time.

How it works: Metoprolol succinate slows the heart rate and lowers how hard the heart has to work by blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart. In this tablet form, the XL coating releases the medicine gradually so the effect lasts longer over the day.

Metoder 50 mg Tablet XL is a higher-strength option than Metoder 25 mg Tablet XL, so it may suit people who need more medicine per dose or who have already been assessed on a lower strength. The extended-release format helps provide steady control through the day, but it is not meant to be split, crushed, or chewed. A doctor may choose Metoder 50 mg Tablet XL when a lower strength is not enough or when a once-daily extended-release tablet is appropriate.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Heart failure, when prescribed
• Fast or irregular heartbeat, when prescribed
• After-heart-attack treatment, when prescribed

• Take Metoder 50 mg Tablet XL exactly as prescribed, usually once daily.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it at the same time each day to keep a steady level in your body.
• It may be taken with or without food, but take it the same way each day.
• Do not stop taking it suddenly without medical advice, because that can worsen chest pain or blood pressure.
• If your doctor also prescribes other heart medicines, follow the exact schedule they give you.

Each Metoder 50 mg Tablet XL provides 50 mg of metoprolol succinate in one extended-release tablet. It is usually taken once daily, but the exact dose and how it is adjusted depend on the condition being treated and your doctor’s instructions. The maximum daily amount is determined by your prescriber, and this strength is not the same as a starting dose for every patient.

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