Introduction
Generally speaking, Betaloc refers to metoprolol tartrate tablets, a β-adrenergic receptor blocker commonly used to treat cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and angina pectoris. It usually should not be discontinued after only ten days of use. In daily life, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat a balanced diet, engage in moderate physical activity, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, and maintain emotional well-being, avoiding excessive anxiety and stress.
Generally speaking, Betaloc refers to metoprolol tartrate tablets. Whether it can be discontinued after ten days of use depends on the patient's specific condition. If blood pressure remains stable after taking the medication, discontinuation may be considered; however, if blood pressure has not yet stabilized, the medication should not be stopped temporarily.
If a patient is taking metoprolol tartrate tablets for hypertension and their blood pressure has stabilized within the normal range after ten days of treatment, discontinuation may be considered under a doctor’s guidance following medical evaluation. It is important to note that stopping the medication should be done gradually to prevent rebound high blood pressure.
If a patient's blood pressure or heart rate has not yet stabilized after ten days of taking metoprolol tartrate, or if there are other conditions requiring continued treatment, the medication should not be discontinued. In particular, patients with severe cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction or heart failure, may need to take metoprolol tartrate long-term to maintain disease stability.
In daily life, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition, moderate physical activity, smoking cessation, limited alcohol consumption, and maintaining emotional well-being to avoid excessive anxiety and stress.
