How Starpress MN Capsule XL works

Starpress MN 25mg/5mg Capsule XL is a combination of two medicines: Metoprolol Succinate and Isosorbide Mononitrate. Metoprolol Succinate is a nitrate which relaxes the blood vessels and decreases the oxygen demand of the heart. Isosorbide Mononitrate is a long-acting beta blocker that works specifically on the heart. It works by slowing down the heart rate and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Together, they improve symptoms of angina (chest pain) and heart failure.
