About BETAFIT AM TABLET 5 MG/25 MG

AMLODIPINE+METOPROLOL SUCCINATE belongs to the group of antihypertensive agents used to treat high blood pressure/hypertension and angina pectoris. High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels. Angina is basically a pain in the heart and chest. 

AMLODIPINE+METOPROLOL SUCCINATE contains Metoprolol succinate and Amlodipine. Metoprolol succinate works by slowing down the heart rate, thereby making it more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow. Together, AMLODIPINE+METOPROLOL SUCCINATE helps treat high blood pressure.

Medicinal Benefits of BETAFIT AM TABLET 5 MG/25 MG

AMLODIPINE+METOPROLOL SUCCINATE is a combination antihypertensive medication containing Metoprolol succinate and Amlodipine. It is used primarily to treat hypertension and to relax the blood vessels for seamless flow of blood. Metoprolol succinate is a beta-blocker that eases the symptoms of hypertension by blocking catecholamines that lead to increased pressure and heart rate. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that decreases blood pressure by preventing the influx of calcium ions into cells and by enlarging and relaxing arteries. In addition, AMLODIPINE+METOPROLOL SUCCINATE also reduces the oxygen demands of the heart, relaxing the heart and blood vessels and requiring the heart to do less work.
