Geminor MP 1 Tablet SR

Product Introduction

Geminor MP 1 Tablet SR is a prescription medication used primarily for the management of specific medical conditions related to cardiovascular health. It combines two active ingredients: Metoprolol and Perindopril, which work together to provide therapeutic benefits. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps reduce heart rate and blood pressure, while Perindopril is an ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) inhibitor that helps in controlling blood pressure and providing cardiovascular protection. This combination is particularly effective for patients who need both blood pressure management and heart rate control.

The “SR” in the name stands for Sustained Release, indicating that the tablet is designed to release its active ingredients gradually over time, ensuring a longer duration of action and more stable blood levels of the medication. This formulation helps maintain consistent therapeutic effects and improves patient compliance.
