What is METAPROLATE H 50/12.5?

METAPROLATE H 50/12.5 is a combination medicine that contains two well-established antihypertensive agents working through complementary mechanisms.

Metoprolol Succinate is a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces the workload on the heart, helping lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular function.

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic ("water tablet") that helps the body eliminate excess sodium and water through urine, reducing fluid volume and contributing to lower blood pressure.

Together, these ingredients provide effective blood pressure management and may reduce the risk of complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage when used as prescribed.

• Management of hypertension (high blood pressure)
