Metzok 100 Tablet PR

Metzok 100 Tablet PR is a prescription tablet that contains Metoprolol Succinate 100 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the beta-blocker class, which helps slow the heart rate and reduce strain on the heart and blood vessels. Metzok 100 Tablet PR is used for conditions such as high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and certain heart-related conditions, and it may also be prescribed after a heart attack or for heart failure when a doctor decides it is appropriate. The PR tablet is designed for once-daily use in many patients, depending on the treatment plan.

How it works: Metoprolol Succinate works by blocking beta signals that make the heart beat faster and harder. In this tablet form, the medicine is released gradually to help keep the heart rate steadier through the day.

Metzok 100 Tablet PR is a higher-strength tablet, so it is usually chosen for people whose doctor has already assessed their need for this amount of metoprolol succinate. Compared with lower strengths, this 100 mg tablet may provide stronger heart-rate and blood-pressure control, and it can be used when a lower dose is no longer enough. Because it is a PR tablet, it is intended to release medicine over time rather than all at once.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Heart failure, when prescribed by a doctor
• Heart rate control in certain patients
• After heart attack, when prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Metzok 100 Tablet PR whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it at the same time each day to help maintain steady blood levels.
• You may take it with or without food, but take it the same way each day for consistency.
• Do not stop taking it suddenly unless your doctor tells you to, because stopping abruptly can worsen heart problems.
• If your doctor changes your dose, follow the new instructions exactly; this is not a tablet to self-adjust.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Metzok 100 Tablet PR provides metoprolol succinate 100 mg per tablet. Many patients take it once daily, but the exact schedule depends on the condition being treated and how you respond to therapy. Your doctor determines the right dose for you; do not take more than prescribed, and do not exceed the daily maximum your prescriber sets for this 100 mg strength.

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