Metoprolol Succinate 25mg-Hydrochlorothiazide is a combination medication treating high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: metoprolol succinate and hydrochlorothiazide.
Metoprolol succinate is a beta-blocker; it slows your heart rate and relaxes blood vessels, lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic; it helps your body get rid of excess salt and water, also reducing blood pressure.
This combination provides a synergistic effect, meaning the drugs work better together than alone. This often leads to better blood pressure control. Your doctor will prescribe this medication based on your individual health needs and medical history.
Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. More serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and potential interactions with other medications. Regular blood pressure monitoring is important while taking this medication.
Remember to inform your doctor of all your medical conditions and medications before starting this treatment. This information should not replace advice from a healthcare professional.
