I'm taking metro XL 25 for high blood pressure for more than 5 yrs. I consulted another cardiologist. The new doctor recommended amtas AT 5/50 instead of metapro XL 25. Is Amtas at is more effective and good for hypertension?

Nothing like that. Both medicines have their respective roles.

Hi, Yes Amtas AT is a more powerful antihypertensive than Metoprolol XL. Amtas AT contain combination of 2 salts. Metro XL has just a salt. So I guess you must be having high BP even on Metro XL and that is why he changed to the new drug.
