About Metpure AM 2.5 Tablet

Metpure AM 2.5 Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).

Thereby, it relaxes and widens arteries (blood vessels) and improves the blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. S-metoprolol belongs to the beta-blockers class, which works by blocking beta receptors in the heart and making the heartbeat slow and with less force.
