Prolomet XL 12.5mg is an extended-release medication commonly prescribed for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain heart conditions such as angina (chest pain) and irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). I
t contains the active ingredient Metoprolol, which belongs to the class of beta-blockers.
Beta-blockers work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, reducing heart rate, and helping the heart pump more efficiently, thus lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart-related complications.
The extended-release formulation of Prolomet XL 12.5mg ensures that the medication is released gradually into the bloodstream, providing long-lasting control over blood pressure and heart rate.
This helps in minimizing the frequency of doses, typically taken once daily, making it more convenient for patients.
In addition to managing hypertension and heart-related conditions, Prolomet XL 12.5mg is also used to reduce the risk of heart attacks and improve survival rates after a heart attack.
It can also be prescribed for the management of other cardiovascular conditions, including heart failure, to improve heart function.
Common side effects include fatigue, dizziness, or lightheadedness, especially when standing up suddenly.
Other possible side effects may include shortness of breath, bradycardia (slow heart rate), and cold hands or feet.
As with all medications, it is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider before discontinuing the medication, as stopping suddenly can cause rebound effects, including elevated blood pressure or increased heart rate.
Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is recommended during treatment to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the medication.
Additionally, patients should avoid alcohol and inform their doctor about other medications they are taking to avoid potential interactions.
Maintaining a healthy diet, staying physically active, and managing stress can further support the effectiveness of Prolomet XL 12.5mg in managing cardiovascular health.
