MET XL NT TABLET

Prescription Required

Introduction of Met XL NT Tablet ER

MET XL NT TABLET is a combination of two medicines used for hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (heart-related chest pain) and chronic (long-term) heart failure. By lowering the blood pressure, it helps in preventing future heart attack and stroke.

MET XL NT TABLET is a combination of two medicines: MET XL NT TABLET1 and MET XL NT TABLET2.

Benefits of Met XL NT Tablet ER

In Angina (heart-related chest pain)

MET XL NT TABLET relaxes the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily around your body and makes sure that your heart is getting a good supply of oxygen. This makes it less likely that you will suffer chest pain caused by angina. This medicine can help increase your ability to exercise and go about your daily life more easily by reducing the frequency of angina attacks. You should take it regularly and as long as it is prescribed for it to work effectively.

In Heart failure

Heart failure means your heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. The most common symptoms are breathlessness, tiredness, and swelling in your legs, ankles, abdomen and other parts of your body. MET XL NT TABLET makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body and is therefore an effective treatment for heart failure.

This medicine will help relieve your symptoms, making you feel better and more energetic. You should make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthily and keeping active) to help this medicine be effective. Take it regularly and keep taking it even if you feel better.
