FAQs

Metivo 25mg Tablet CR helps in slowing down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Thereby, lowers blood pressure.

High blood pressure increases the workload on the arteries and heart. If untreated, it could damage the blood vessels of the heart, brain, kidney and might result in stroke, heart failure or kidney failure. Hypertension increases the risk of heart attacks. Therefore, anti-hypertensives such as Metivo 25mg Tablet CR are used to lower the blood pressure to normal; this reduces the risk of developing these disorders.
