How does Metoprolol help in managing hypertension, and what are the mechanisms by which it lowers blood pressure?
Metoprolol lowers blood pressure by blocking beta-1 receptors, reducing heart rate and cardiac output, which decreases blood pressure.
Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, reduces hypertension by slowing the heart rate and decreasing the force of heart contractions, easing the heart’s workload.
