मेटोप्रोलोल - एक बीटा-ब्लॉकर

About metoprolol

What is metoprolol used for?

Metoprolol is a type of बीटा-ब्लॉकर that is used to treat several heart-related conditions including high blood pressure, angina (chest pain) and irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias).

It is also used to ease some of the symptoms of an अत्यधिक सक्रिय थायरॉयड ग्रंथि and to help prevent migraines. It can be helpful for people who find other treatments for migraine unsuitable.

How does metoprolol work?

Metoprolol slows down the activity of your heart by stopping messages sent by some nerves to your heart. It does this by blocking tiny areas (called beta-adrenergic receptors) where the messages are received by your heart.

As a result, your heart beats more slowly and with less force. This allows the pressure of blood within your blood vessels to be reduced if you have उच्च रक्तचाप (हाइपरटेंशन), and helps to prevent abnormally fast heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

Because your heart is using less energy, this helps to reduce chest pain if you have एनजाइना. Metoprolol can also help to protect the heart following a heart attack.

How to take metoprolol

• Read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about metoprolol and will provide you with a full list of the side effects which you may experience from taking it.

• Your doctor will tell you what dose is right for you, and this information will be printed on the label of the pack of tablets to remind you.

• Take metoprolol exactly as your doctor tells you to. You may be prescribed one, two, three or four doses to take each day, depending upon your medical condition.

  • Try to take your doses at the same times of day each day, as this will help you to remember to take the tablets regularly. It is recommended that you take your doses before meals.

• If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless your next dose is due. If your next dose is due then take the tablet which is due but leave out the forgotten one. Do not take two doses together to make up for missing one.

अपने उपचार से अधिकतम लाभ प्राप्त करना

• अपने डॉक्टर के साथ अपनी नियमित नियुक्तियों को बनाए रखने का प्रयास करें। ऐसा इसलिए है ताकि आपका डॉक्टर आपकी प्रगति की जांच कर सके।.

• Treatment with metoprolol can often be long-term. Continue to take the tablets unless your doctor tells you to stop. Stopping treatment suddenly can cause problems in some people, so your doctor may want you to reduce your dose gradually if this becomes necessary.

• If you are due to have an operation or dental treatment, it is important to tell the person carrying out the treatment that you are taking a beta-blocker. This is because some anaesthetics may increase the risk of unwanted effects.

• If you buy any medicines, check with a pharmacist that they are suitable for you to take. Some medicines (including some cough, cold and flu remedies) may not be.

• आपका डॉक्टर आपको स्वस्थ आहार, धूम्रपान न करने और नियमित व्यायाम करने के बारे में आहार और जीवनशैली की सलाह दे सकता है। यदि ऐसा है, तो यह महत्वपूर्ण है कि आप दी गई सलाह का पालन करें।.
