Metoprolol tartrate 100 mg tablets treat high blood pressure and angina. They work by slowing your heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, reducing the workload on your heart. This lowers blood pressure and reduces chest pain.
Dosage: Your doctor determines the correct dosage based on your individual needs. Commonly, it’s taken once or twice daily, with or without food. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor.
Potential Side Effects: Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and slow heart rate (bradycardia). Severe side effects, while rare, include shortness of breath, swelling in your ankles, and allergic reactions. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.
Interactions: Metoprolol can interact with other medications, including certain antidepressants, diabetes medications, and allergy medications. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking.
Precautions: Metoprolol is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain heart conditions, such as severe bradycardia or heart block, should avoid it. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss its use with their doctor.
