Metoprolol XL Tablet works by slowing down your pet's heart rate, relaxing the blood vessels and easing strain on the heart. This makes it an effective treatment option for hypertension ( high blood pressure), chest pain (angina) and heart attack as well. Metoprolol XL tablets are sold individually.How it Works

Metoprolol XL slows your pet's heart rate, which relaxes the blood vessels. This eases the strain on the heart so it won't have to work as hard to pump blood.

Special Precautions

Speak with your veterinarian about all other medications your pet is taking, as some drugs can have interactions with metoprolol (including calcium channel blockers, insulin, and furosemide).
Proceed with caution in administering to animals suffering from congestive heart failure.
Do not administer to pets with known allergies or hypersensitivities to this medication.

Overdose Information
