Metspot OL 20 mg/50 mg Tablet


Product introduction

Metspot OL 20 mg/50 mg Tablet is a medicine used for treating high blood pressure. By lowering the blood pressure, it helps in preventing future heart attack and stroke. Early treatment with this medicine also improves chances of survival in patients of heart attack.
