Medication Summary

Medication Summary: This section summarizes DailyMed drug label information to make the label easier to understand. It is not a substitute for the official label, pharmacist counseling, prescriber instructions, or medical advice.

Overview

Metoprolol tartrate tablets are a beta-blocker taken by mouth. The label says they are used to treat high blood pressure, long-term angina, and certain patients with acute myocardial infarction. Lowering blood pressure can reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks.

The tablets should be taken once daily with food or right after a meal, and some uses may require divided doses. Dosing is adjusted gradually over weekly or longer intervals based on response and tolerability.

Do not stop metoprolol suddenly unless directed by the prescriber. Abrupt stopping may worsen chest pain and, in some cases, lead to a heart attack. The label also notes important cautions for people with heart failure, bronchospastic disease, diabetes, thyroid disease, and peripheral vascular disease.

Storage Information

store clinical stability before advancing the dose of Metoprolol tartrate [see Dosage and Administration (2)]. STORAGE AND HANDLING Metoprolol Tartrate Tablets, USP are available containing 25 mg, 37. Storage: Store at 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F). Dispense in a tight, light-resistant container (USP) as defined in the USP using a child-resistant closure.

Key Counseling Points

  • Take metoprolol with food or right after a meal, as directed on your prescription.
  • Take it at the same time each day if your prescriber has you on a regular schedule.
  • Do not stop this medicine suddenly; the label warns that abrupt stopping can worsen angina or trigger heart problems.
  • If you are told to stop it, the dose should be reduced gradually over 1 to 2 weeks.
  • Tell your clinician if you have asthma or other bronchospastic disease, since beta-blockers are generally avoided and the lowest possible dose may be used if prescribed.
  • Let your clinician know if you have diabetes, because this medicine may mask early warning signs of low blood sugar.
  • Be aware that metoprolol can cause tiredness, dizziness, shortness of breath, low heart rate, low blood pressure, diarrhea, rash, or itching.
  • The label notes that some medicines can interact with metoprolol, including clonidine, diltiazem, verapamil, digitalis glycosides, and strong CYP2D6 inhibitors.
  • If you have a history of severe allergic reactions, tell your clinician, since beta-blockers may make treatment with epinephrine less effective.
  • Report symptoms such as very slow pulse, fainting, worsening heart failure, or wheezing promptly.

Helpful Patient Education

Metoprolol tartrate tablets are an oral beta-blocker available in multiple strengths, including 50 mg. According to the DailyMed label, this medicine is used for hypertension, angina pectoris, and certain patients with acute myocardial infarction.
