Vinicor XL 25 Tablet contains metoprolol succinate (25 mg). Here's how it works in your body:

• Heart Rate and Contractility Reduction: Metoprolol succinate decreases the speed and strength at which your heart beats, thereby reducing the workload on your heart.

• Renin Secretion Decrease: It reduces the secretion of an enzyme called renin from your kidneys, which plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure.

• Decreased Sympathetic Outflow: Metoprolol succinate reduces the outflow of signals from your central nervous system that can increase heart rate and blood pressure.

By performing these actions, metoprolol succinate contributes to reducing blood pressure, slowing down heart rate, and easing the workload on your heart. Its selective action means it primarily affects your heart (at therapeutic doses), thereby minimising potential effects on other parts of your body like lungs and peripheral vasculature.

• Store Vinicor XL 25 Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C.

• Keep the medicine away from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children for safety.

• Use Vinicor XL 25 Tablet before its expiry date to ensure its effectiveness.

• If you're taking Vinicor XL 25 Tablet for hypertension, consider reducing your salt intake. High sodium levels can raise blood pressure, counteracting the medicine's effects.

• Regular gentle exercise like walking or cycling can help manage heart conditions. However, always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise regimen while on this medication.
