Welcome to the world of Heart's Health and Normal Blood Pressure
Toprol-XL is a selective beta receptor blocker used in treatment of several diseases of the cardiovascular system, especially hypertension.
Toprol-XL is indicated for:
• Lowering high blood pressure, also called hypertension, and reducing the risk of complications due to high blood pressure such as stroke, heart attack or early death.
• Preventing angina (heart or chest pain brought on by stress or exercise in patients with coronary heart disease).
• Treating or preventing heart attacks, or reducing your risk of heart complications following a heart attack.
• Treating heart failure (symptomatic mild to severe chronic heart failure in addition to other heart failure medicine), helping increase survival, reduce hospitalisation, improve symptoms, and Quality of Life.
• Treating disturbances of heart rate in patients with heart disease, especially rapid heart beat.
• Treating symptoms of rapid or irregular heart beat in patients without heart disease.
• Prevention of migraine headaches.
• Treating overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
Other uses for Toprol-XL include treatment of certain types of tremors (familial or hereditary essential tremors).
Toprol-XL works by affecting the body's response to some nerve impulses, especially in the heart. As a result, it decreases the heart's need for blood and oxygen and therefore reduces the amount of work the heart has to do. It also widens the blood vessels in the body and helps the heart beat more regularly.
Toprol-XL may be used either alone or in combination with other medicines.
Toprol-Xl is not addictive.
Follow the directions for using this medicine provided by your doctor. Take Toprol-XL exactly as directed.
