metoprolol Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What dosages is metoprolol available in?
metoprolol is available as a 25 mg, 37.5 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg, and 100 mg oral tablet.
What is metoprolol used for?
metoprolol is a beta-blocker that is used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain (angina) and to lower risk of death after heart attack.
How does metoprolol work?
metoprolol is a selective beta blocker. It slows down the heart which allows it to put less pressure on the body’s blood vessels. By slowing down the heart, it also allows the heart to use less oxygen which improves chest pain.
How do I take metoprolol?
metoprolol is typically given as 100 mg to 450 mg daily, taken by mouth in divided doses, depending on the condition being treated.
Is it safe for me to take metoprolol?
metoprolol is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have severe bradycardia, heart block greater than first degree, cardiogenic shock, decompensated cardiac failure, sick sinus syndrome (unless a permanent pacemaker
is in place), and in patients who are hypersensitive to any component of this product.

Effects of other drugs, drug classes and over-the-counter products on metoprolol
The following medications may interact with metoprolol:
- Catecholamine-depleting drugs may have an additive effect when given with beta-blocking agents
- Patients may be unresponsive to the usual doses of epinephrine used to treat allergic reaction
- CYP2D6 Inhibitors are likely to increase metoprolol concentration
- Concomitant use of glycosides, clonidine, and diltiazem and verapamil with beta-blockers can increase the risk of bradycardia
