Description

Metoprolol Amp 5 mg/mL 5 mL is a prescription medication used to manage cardiovascular conditions, particularly hypertension and arrhythmias. It is a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker, which works by inhibiting the action of certain chemicals in the body, particularly norepinephrine and epinephrine, on the heart.

Metoprolol is administered intravenously, typically in a hospital or clinical setting. The 5 mg/mL concentration in a 5 mL ampule allows for precise dosing based on the patient’s medical condition and response to treatment. The medication is also used to manage angina, a condition characterized by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.

The use of metoprolol may cause side effects such as dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Serious side effects, such as severe bradycardia or heart failure, require immediate medical attention.
