Benefits of Mexmet Tablet ER
In Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Mexmet 25 Tablet ER belongs to a group of medicines called long-acting beta-blocker. Mexmet 25 Tablet ER works by blocking the effects of some chemicals on your heart and blood vessels. It slows down your heart rate and helps it to beat with less force. This lowers your blood pressure and helps in reducing your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective, so keep taking it even if you feel well. Do not stop without talking to your doctor.

You should take it regularly and as long as it is prescribed for it to work effectively.
