Topme XL 12.5 mg

Manufacturer: Johnlee Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical name: Metoprolol Succinate

Pack: 10 pills (12.5 mg)

Topme XL primarily works by blocking the beta-adrenoreceptors in the heart and is used to manage hypertension, angina, irregular heartbeat, and to both treat and prevent myocardial infarction. Topme XL affects the autonomic nervous system, which regulates an elevated heart rate by inhibiting its receptors and thereby reducing excessively fast heart rhythms. It also decreases myocardial irritability, cardiac output, and results in other effects.

 

Topme XL should be consumed with food or shortly after a meal. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet; instead, take it with a glass of water. The dosage is determined by the specific condition being treated and can range from 100 to 450 mg per day. Your doctor will provide you with the appropriate dosage. Older patients are advised to start with a daily dose of 50 mg. Kidney failure does not necessitate dosage adjustments, but liver failure requires the use of different beta-blockers that are not metabolized by the liver. If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If your next scheduled dose is less than 4 hours away, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not attempt to make up for a missed dose by taking an extra one.

 

While many people develop a tolerance to Topme XL, some may experience side effects such as abdominal cramps, fatigue, insomnia, nausea, depression, memory loss, fever, impotence, dizziness, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, cold extremities, sore throat, diarrhea, constipation, or shortness of breath and wheezing.

 

If you experience symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath, dizziness, weakness or fainting, or bluish-colored fingernails, seek immediate medical attention.
