Eczema And Metoprolol

Skin rashes and hives are listed as the more serious side effects. I took Metoprolol on and off for palpitations when needed. The last few weeks I took 1/2 tab at 12.5mg only as a preventative since palpitations seemed to increase due to stress. Skin rashes and eczema increased and became miserable. I researched and thought back to the general time these symptoms developed and they were 4 years or so ago around the time I began using M. It has been about 2 weeks. The itching and redness have lessened a bit, but I wonder if anyone else can share symptoms and hope that they will go away.

Typically, side effects are transient and go away in time, once your body gets used to a medication.

However, since you're only taking this occasionally, that's most likely not going to happen for you, because your body doesn't have a chance to get used to it.

Has your doctor prescribed it to be taken this way? This medication doesn't usually handle symptoms fast enough for it to be taken as needed.

Have you had yourself checked to see if this is an allergic reaction?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.
