Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg/Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of cardiovascular conditions. This includes hypertension, heart failure, angina, atrial fibrillation, and myocardial infarction. The medication is composed of two active ingredients: Metoprolol tartrate, a beta-blocker, and Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic.

Metoprolol tartrate works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, that affect the heart and blood vessels. This helps to reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. Hydrochlorothiazide aids in the elimination of excess water and salt from the body, further helping to lower blood pressure.

Together, these two medications work synergistically to reduce blood pressure, improve the heart's ability to pump blood, and decrease the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular complications. This formulation is an effective treatment for a range of cardiovascular conditions, and can significantly improve patient outcomes when taken as prescribed.

It is important to note that this medication should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Patients should not stop taking it without consulting their doctor, as this could lead to serious health complications.

This formulation is gluten free, making it a suitable option for those with gluten sensitivities or allergies. The medication is enclosed in either two gelatin or vegetarian shells, forming a capsule. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. The capsules should be taken with food to optimize absorption.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg/Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, angina, atrial fibrillation, and myocardial infarction. This medication combines the effects of a beta-blocker, Metoprolol Tartrate, and a diuretic, Hydrochlorothiazide.

Metoprolol Tartrate works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This action reduces the heart rate and blood pressure, thereby reducing the workload on the heart and improving blood flow. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide increases the amount of salt and water that the kidneys remove from the blood, which aids in reducing blood pressure. The combination of these two medications provides a more effective approach to blood pressure reduction than either medication alone.

For the treatment of hypertension, Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg/Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) should be taken once daily, with or without food. For other conditions such as heart failure, angina, atrial fibrillation, or myocardial infarction, the dosage may need to be adjusted based on the patient's response to treatment. It is crucial to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Patients should be aware that this medication may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fatigue. Therefore, it is advised not to drive or operate machinery until you know how the medication affects you. This medication may also cause low blood pressure, so activities that may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, such as standing up quickly, should be avoided.

Furthermore, this medication may cause an increase in potassium, blood sugar, uric acid, and cholesterol levels. Regular monitoring of these levels is recommended while on this medication. If you have any questions about Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg/Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg Capsules (Gluten Free), please consult your healthcare provider.
