Prolonox Xl 50 Tablet 10 is primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). This medicine falls under the category of cardioselective beta-1 receptor blockers.

Aside from managing hypertension, this is also helpful in managing long-term chest pain due to heart disease (angina pectoris) and for controlling symptoms in cases of stable heart failure. It assists in reducing the heart rate, blood pressure, and the amount of work your heart has to do.

Inform your doctor about any existing health conditions or ongoing medications. If, during the course of taking this medicine, you notice any side effects, get in touch with your doctor immediately. It's crucial that you continue taking the medicine for as long as your doctor prescribes for optimal results.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Prolonox Xl 50 Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Diarrhoea: Try taking Prolonox Xl 50 Tablet 10 with food to lessen this effect.

Prolonox Xl 50 Tablet 10 contains metoprolol succinate (50 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

Beta-1 receptor blockade: Metoprolol succinate selectively blocks beta-1 receptors present in the heart. These receptors are typically acted upon by natural substances in your body called catecholamines (like adrenaline).
Reducing cardiac responses: By blocking these receptors, metoprolol succinate decreases heart rate and force of heart muscle contraction, which leads to lower blood pressure and less work for your heart.
Lowering oxygen demand: The reduced work rate of the heart means it requires less oxygen, which aids in managing conditions like angina where oxygen supply to the heart is compromised.

Pregnancy

Consult your doctor before taking Prolonox Xl 50 Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. The potential benefits should outweigh the potential risks to the foetus.
