General Information

Metoprolol Succinate is a prescription used to treat chest pain or angina and high blood pressure.

Angina is caused by reduced blood flow. It is a symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina is often described as pressure, squeezing, tightness, heaviness, and pain in your chest.

High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough. That it may eventually cause health problems. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent:

• Kidney problems
• Heart attacks
• Strokes

How does Metoprolol Succinate work?

Metoprolol Succinate works by blocking beta receptors that are found in the heart. This medicine causes the heart to beat slower and less forcefully. That it lessens the pressure at which blood is pumped out of the heart and around the body. Therefore, it lowers blood pressure.

The effects of this drug mean that the heart does not use as much energy to pump blood around the body. Angina happens when the heart does not get enough oxygen to meet demand. Metoprolol Succinate prevents angina attacks because it lessens the workload of the heart and so decreases its demand for oxygen.

Metoprolol Succinate controls irregular heartbeats because a slower heart rate tends to allow the electrical signals in the heart to fire more regularly. Thus, it helps the heart to beat more regularly.
