**How it Works:**
Metoprolol succinate works by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, reducing the heart rate and blood pressure. It does this by selectively blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart and blood vessels, which are responsible for the body’s “fight or flight” response. By blocking these receptors, metoprolol reduces the workload on the heart and helps to relax blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow to the heart.
