Is met xl 12.5 blood pressure medication

2020-06-13 12:13:55
Hi, My husband 33yrs old had slight bp and pulse above 100..3 days back. Doctor prescribed him met xl 12.5 for the pulse. But on Google it is shown as a bp medication. We don't want to start bp medication so soon as his bp was only around 149. Any suggestions?

Hello, Met xl is for both high heart rate and high bp. 12.5 is a low dose as such. And 149 is quite high bp. So i think you should follow the doctor’s advice and not to focus on stopping medicines rather focus on getting his bp and heart rate under control Take care
