Beloc (metoprolol) is a prescription beta-blocker that slows down heart rate. It is used to treat hypertension, chest pain, heart failure, palpitations, arrhythmia, and to prevent migraine attacks. Its active ingredient, metoprolol, works by blocking the effects of certain natural chemicals in the body on the heart and blood vessels, thereby reducing heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. It is available in injectable solution, slow-release, and controlled-release film tablet forms. The most common side effect is a feeling of fatigue. Beloc should be used under doctor supervision and discontinued gradually. Abrupt cessation of treatment can lead to severe side effects.

What is Beloc?

Beloc is a prescription medication from the group of beta-blockers that slows down heart rate (pulse). Its active ingredient, metoprolol, blocks the effects of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. Beloc is available in injectable solution, slow-release, and controlled-release film tablet forms.

Hypertension (also used in ages 6-18),

Chest pain (angina pectoris),

Heart failure,

Palpitations,

Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat),

Reducing the risk of second heart attack and death,

Migraine (preventive treatment).

How should Beloc be used correctly?

You can take the controlled-release form on an empty or full stomach. However, Durules should be taken on an empty stomach.

Swallow the tablets with a glass of water, do not crush or chew them. Tablets can also be divided for dose adjustment.

Since the tablets are controlled-release, their effect lasts throughout the day and should be taken once a day.
