Product Description:
METROACTIL® – AM combines two well-established antihypertensive agents: Metoprolol, a selective beta-1 blocker, and Amlodipine, a long-acting calcium channel blocker. This once-daily combination delivers synergistic blood pressure control, reduces the risk of cardiac events, and improves vascular health in patients with hypertension, angina, or cardiovascular risk factors.
Key Benefits:
-
Provides 24-hour sustained blood pressure control
-
Reduces heart rate and cardiac workload
-
Prevents angina and arrhythmia-related episodes
-
Controls both systolic and diastolic hypertension
-
Well tolerated with once-daily dosing convenience
How it works:
-
Metoprolol reduces heart rate and myocardial oxygen demand by blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart.
-
Amlodipine relaxes vascular smooth muscle by inhibiting calcium influx, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.
Together, they provide comprehensive control of both central and peripheral blood pressure mechanisms.

Take one tablet daily, preferably in the morning, or as directed by your physician.
