Toprol ®
TOPROL-XL is a type of medicine known as a beta-blocker. Beta-blockers
help to reduce how hard the heart needs to work. TOPROL-XL is usually taken to
treat:
--Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure. Heart failure
is a condition in which the heart has become weak and is unable to pump blood
to the rest of the body as it should. TOPROL-XL can be used to treat heart failure
that is stable in patients who have symptoms known as Class II or Class III heart
failure.
--High blood pressure, also known as hypertension. TOPROL-XL can
be used alone or with other medicines to lower blood pressure.
--Chest pain,
also known as angina pectoris. Angina is a special kind of chest pain that happens
when the heart is not getting enough blood and oxygen. TOPROL-XL can help to control
the amount of oxygen that the heart needs to work properly. Order
