Hi! Drugs and their side effects. What to trust?! Question that haunts every patient.


Metoprolol is found to be the safest antihypertensive agents to be used. It belongs to the drugs class called Beta blockers which help preventing remodelling of.your heart due to hypertension and prolong the healthy status of your heart. The side effects that you mentioned occur very rarely in a very few number of people and you can be very safe from taking it even for years.

Wishing you a Healthy Heart.
