Expert Advice :
Metoprolol Succinate lowers your blood pressure and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. It may also be used to reduce the number and severity of angina attacks (chest pain caused by heart disease). Metoprolol Succinate should be taken once a day regularly at the same time. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent stroke and heart attack. Lifestyle changes like low-fat diet, exercise, and not smoking may help this medicine work better. Do not stop taking Metoprolol Succinate suddenly as it can cause your blood pressure to rise suddenly, thereby increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. It may cause dizziness. If this happens to you, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position. It can hide symptoms of low blood sugar if you are diabetic. Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.
