About Prolomet XL 25 Tablet

Prolomet XL 25 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called “Antihypertensive” used alone or together with other drugs to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), symptoms caused by an overactive thyroid gland, heart-related chest pain (angina), heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia). Besides this, it also helps in relieving symptoms of migraine-related headaches. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a long-term force of the blood against the arteries that may lead to various heart diseases. It can damage the blood vessels (arteries) of the brain, heart, and kidneys if it continues for a long time, resulting in a stroke, heart failure or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack and heart-related chest pain (angina).

Prolomet XL 25 Tablet plays a vital role in relaxing blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. It helps slow down the heart rate, making it easier for pumping more blood around the body. This lowers your blood pressure and reduces the risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems or kidney problems in the future. Prolomet XL 25 Tablet needs to be taken regularly to be effective.

You are advised to take this medicine for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as tiredness, dizziness, stomach pain, nightmares, irregular heart rate and skin rash. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Don't stop taking this medicine without talking to your doctor first. Stopping abruptly may cause changes in your heart rhythm and blood pressure, cause chest pain or a heart attack. Your doctor will lower your dose gradually over a period of time to help prevent these symptoms. Prolomet XL 25 Tablet should not be used to avoid heart attacks. You should not use Prolomet XL 25 Tablet if you have heart rhythm problems, diabetes, kidney disease or failure, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Avoid driving and operating heavy machinery as it may cause dizziness and drowsiness. Orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure n standing) might occur so patients using Prolomet XL 25 Tablet should get up with caution. Before taking Prolomet XL 25 Tablet , inform your doctor if you are going to have surgery or an anaesthetic.

Medicinal Benefits

Prolomet XL 25 Tablet contains Metoprolol tartrate that works by blocking beta receptors, namely beta 1 and beta 2. Prolomet XL 25 Tablet blocks beta 1 receptor located in the heart cells that lower heart rate and decreases the heart's blood pumping frequency decreasing raised blood pressure. On the other hand, Prolomet XL 25 Tablet also blocks beta 2 receptors located in the lungs (bronchioles) and blood vessels of skeletal muscle narrowing it. This, in turn, lowers your overall body's blood pressure and helps in reducing the risk of having a stroke, heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. A Prolomet XL 25 Tablet also improves heart-related chest pain (angina) and may increase a person's stamina to exercise with angina. It also blocks the effects of epinephrine, which causes the heart to beat slower. Additionally, Prolomet XL 25 Tablet reduces symptoms of essential tremor (fits), and prevent migraine. Prolomet XL 25 Tablet can reduce symptoms of too much thyroid hormone (thyrotoxicosis) and can be taken together with thyroid-related medicines to treat an overactive thyroid.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: High blood pressure is a chronic condition when the blood pressure and the heart's workload is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg.
