Medicine Information

About Supermet AM Tablet:

Each uncoated bilayered Supermet AM tablet contains Metoprolol Succinate 47.5mg equivalent to Metoprolol Tartrate 50mg (as Prolonged- release form) and Amlodipine Besilate equivalent to Amlodipine 5mg.

Metoprolol is a selective beta-1 (cardio-selective) adrenergic receptor blocking agent that blocks the effects of adrenaline on body’s beta receptors, thereby slowing nerve impulses that travel through the heart. In that way, Metoprolol relaxes blood vessels and slows heart rate in order to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.

Amlodipine belongs to the group of medicine called calcium channel blocker, are a common class of medication used to treat high blood pressure and heart arrhythmias. Calcium channel blocker works by reducing the amount of calcium that flows into the heart muscle cells and cell walls of the arteries. This cause relaxation of the blood vessels, so blood can flow more easily and result in a lower blood pressure.
