Metoprolol L
Metoprolol is a medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), chest pain (angina), and other conditions as part of a treatment plan for heart failure, and to protect the heart following a myocardial infarction (heart attack). It belongs to a class of medications known as beta blockers, which work by blocking the beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, leading to a decrease in heart rate and lowering of blood pressure.
How is this medication used?
Metoprolol should be taken according to your doctor's instructions. It can be taken with or without food but should be taken at the same time every day to maintain an even level in your system. The dosage depends on your condition and how well you respond to treatment. Do not stop taking metoprolol suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this may worsen your condition.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of metoprolol include fatigue, dizziness, depression, shortness of breath, bradycardia (slow heart rate), and gastrointestinal issues such as nausea and abdominal pain. It may also cause cold hands and feet. Less common but more serious side effects can include worsening heart failure, severe bradycardia, and severe allergic reactions.
What are the potential interactions?
Metoprolol can interact with a variety of drugs including other blood pressure medications, antidepressants, antipsychotics, antihistamines, and drugs for irregular heartbeats. It also interacts with alcohol and drugs that can slow down the brain's processes, increasing the risk of side effects such as dizziness and drowsiness. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
