Slowing Nerve Impulses: S-metoprolol also helps slow down nerve impulses that can cause your heart to beat faster.
Blood Vessel Relaxation: It also aids in relaxing blood vessels to ensure an efficient oxygen supply reaches the heart.
Extended Release: Being an extended-release formulation means it offers a slower release and longer duration of action compared to immediate-release forms
