METPIL XR 50 TABLETS 15'S helps in slowing down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Thereby, lowers blood pressure.
High blood pressure increases the workload on the arteries and heart. If untreated, it could damage the blood vessels of the heart, brain, and kidney and might result in stroke, heart failure or kidney failure. Hypertension increases the risk of heart attacks. Therefore, anti-hypertensives such as METPIL XR 50 TABLETS 15'S are used to lower the blood pressure to normal; this reduces the risk of developing these disorders.
