Metoprolol Succinate 23.75/47.5mg. Eq. to Metoprolol Tartrate 25/50mg. (SR)
Metoprolol Succinate (23.75mg/47.5mg), Eq. to Metoprolol Tartrate (25mg/50mg), (SR) is a beta-blocker medication used to manage conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and angina (chest pain), as well as to improve survival following heart attacks. Metoprolol works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, reducing the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing the heart’s workload. The succinate form is an extended-release (SR) formulation, providing a longer duration of action, while the tartrate form is typically taken multiple times a day. The extended-release (SR) version of Metoprolol Succinate helps maintain steady blood levels, making it more convenient for once-daily dosing. It is commonly prescribed to help prevent complications related to heart conditions, reducing the risk of further cardiac events.
