About Met XL 3D 50/6.25 Tablet

Met XL 3D 50/6.25 Tablet belongs to the group of anti-hypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Met XL 3D 50/6.25 Tablet helps lower blood pressure, thereby reducing the chances of heart problems such as heart attack and stroke.

Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats or pumps out blood. Diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries between the heartbeats. Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) by a blood pressure monitor called a sphygmomanometer. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, nosebleeds, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness, and dyspnea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
