METORIGHT H TABLET

METORIGHT H TABLET belongs to the class of anti-hypertensives, primarily taken to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce stroke risk in patients with high blood pressure. METORIGHT H TABLET is a combination medication generally used when a single medicine is unable to control high blood pressure. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a life-long or chronic condition in which the force exerted against the artery wall becomes too high. It can lead to the risk of heart diseases like heart attack and stroke.

METORIGHT H TABLET is a combination of two medicines: Metoprolol and Hydrochlorothiazide. Metoprolol belongs to the class of drugs known as β-blockers that works by relaxing the blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. It helps slow down the heart rate, making it easier to pump more blood around your body and lower blood pressure. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that works by removing extra water/fluid and certain electrolyte overload from the body. Together, METORIGHT H TABLET lowers fluid overload, raises blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduces the future risk of a heart attack and stroke. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective.

Take METORIGHT H TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical conditions, you are advised to take METORIGHT H TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. You may experience nausea, fatigue, constipation, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, increased blood uric acid, slow heart rate, decreased potassium level in the blood, altered blood lipid level, glucose intolerance, increased calcium level in the blood, and decreased magnesium level in blood. Most of these side effects of METORIGHT H TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to METORIGHT H TABLET, have liver disease, kidney disease, asthma, heart failure, a heart valve problem, or have a history of a heart attack. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking METORIGHT H TABLET. Orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure) might occur, so patients taking METORIGHT H TABLET should get up with caution. A prolonged intake of METORIGHT H TABLET may decrease your blood potassium levels. So, it is better to ask your doctor about foods high in potassium, like bananas or orange juice. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte (sodium, potassium, calcium, etc.) are recommended while taking METORIGHT H TABLET. And also, a healthy diet and regular exercise are necessary to keep blood pressure under control.

METORIGHT H TABLET contains a combination of medicines: Metoprolol (beta-blockers) and Hydrochlorothiazide (thiazide diuretic or water pill). Metoprolol plays a vital role in relaxing our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in our bodies. It helps slow down the heart rate, making it easier to pump more blood around your body and lower blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that prevents excess salt absorption in the body, preventing fluid retention. Collectively, both help reduces blood pressure and the chance of a stroke, heart attack, and oedema (fluid overload).

Before taking METORIGHT H TABLET you should tell the doctor if you have any muscle disorder (myasthenia gravis, rhabdomyolysis), breathing problem (COPD, bronchitis, emphysema), low blood sugar level (hypoglycemia), eye problem (glaucoma), low blood pressure (hypotension), depression, previous heart failure, liver/kidney disease, thyroid hormone disorder like overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), adrenal gland cancer, or severe blood circulation problem (Raynaud’s syndrome). You should monitor your blood pressure regularly to make sure the METORIGHT H TABLET is working efficiently.
