Benefits of MT Tablet XL
In Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)
MT 25mg Tablet XL belongs to a group of medicines called long-acting beta-blocker. MT 25mg Tablet XL works by blocking the effects of some chemicals on your heart and blood vessels.

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.
In Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain)
MT 25mg Tablet XL relaxes the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily around your body and makes sure that your heart is getting a good supply of oxygen.
