Starpress AM XL is a treatment for hypertension (high blood pressure). It contains two active ingredients called amlodipine and metoprolol succinate. It’s usually prescribed when taking one of the active ingredients alone has not been successful at lowering blood pressure levels or if there’s a higher risk of complications.
As well as lowering high blood pressure, Starpress AM XL also reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. It’s most effective when combined with a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
As you take Starpress AM XL you will need to monitor your blood pressure, this monitoring will help to inform your doctor’s advice about the dose you should take and how long you should take Starpress AM XL for.
Starpress AM XL is a branded treatment. It’s also available as Evimeto AM, Vinicor-AM, Gudpres-AM, Tolol AM, Supermet-AM, Amlopin-M, Protol-AM and Amlovas-M. These medications work in the same way as Starpress AM XL, but the packaging and pills may differ in appearance due to branding.
Starpress AM XL contains two ingredients that combine to lower blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. These drugs reduce the movement of calcium in the blood and therefore make it easier for blood to flow around the body. This helps the heart to beat effectively as it reduces the pressure that it comes up against as it works.
Metoprolol succinate, the other active ingredient in Starpress AM XL, is a beta-blocker. This helps the heart to beat slower and therefore reduces the pressure that it encounters as it moves blood around the body.
Starpress AM XL also contributes to lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke and their associated complications.
Starpress AM XL is available in two dosage sizes: 25mg and 50mg. The dose that you take will depend on the severity of your symptoms. Your doctor will be able to advise you about the best dose to start with.
As you take your treatment your doctor will monitor your blood pressure and make changes to your treatment as needed. It’s common to start on a lower dose and for this to be increased if it doesn’t prove to be effective at lowering blood pressure.
If you find that Starpress AM XL doesn’t suit you or doesn’t work in the way that you need it to, your doctor will be able to explore other treatment options with you. It can take some trial and error to find the best treatment, but your doctor will be able to guide you through this process and find a treatment that works for you.
