Is there any difference in these to metoprolol 50 mg pills? I am prescribed C74 and my mother is prescribed M32. ## Hi, Strawberry! How are you? Your doctor doesn't actually prescribe you any specific tablet with a certain marking. They prescribe the medication and dosage, the tablet you actually when you get it filled by your pharmacy depends on which one they have in stock, because it can vary depending on what company was offering the cheapest price, when they re-ordered from their distributor. Both the tablet that you've received with the C 74 marking on it and the M32 tablet that your mother received from her pharmacy contain 50mgs of Metoprolol, they are just manufactured by different companies. This is very common when a medication is available as a generic. It creates so...

The bottle from last month for my b.pressure medication lists the name as Metoprol but the bottle I just picked for this month lists the name Metoprolol and the pills aren't the same. I switched to a new pharmacy this month and I thought that might be the reason the pills are different. I am not able to go home now and compare the pills by searching for the description. I have one in my daily medication box and I did search it and it came back as a generic version of Lopressor. I feel my pulse is racing and that my B.P. is going up and I know I NEED to take it now. Is Lopressor in both of the medications I listed above? ## Lopressor is just a brand name for Metoprolol, so yes, these medications are all the same. The one listed as Metoprol was just an abbreviation. Learn more Metopro...

Can I dring a glass of wine while taking metoprolol. One 25grm twice a day ## Hello, Janette! How are you? It isn't wise to mix alcohol with any prescription medication, especially if you have high blood pressure or a heart condition, since alcohol carries a risk of cardiotoxicity and you should also always check with your doctor, before imbibing. As to interactions with the medication, it can cause a worsening of any side effects, so you may feel more nauseous, dizzy and drowsy than normal. Learn more Metoprolol details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

Learn more Metolar XR details here. Since this is a beta blocker that's used to lower blood pressure and help with cardiac function, taking too much could cause your blood pressure and heart rate to go too low, which could place your life in danger. ...

I was prescribed Metoprolol 13 years ago for a high/fast pulse rate,i was also prescribed Lisinopril 20 mg. for high blood pressure at the same time.Now that i have been diagnosed with Raynauds Syndrome,my rheumatologist has suggested replacing Met0prolol with Nifedipine XL 30 mg.My primary care doctor would not allow me to go off of Metoprolol without consulting a cardioligist. Cardioligist said decrease dosage to 12 1/2 mg.a day for 10 days and then stop taking it and give my body a break before starting Nifedipine XL.I also take an 81 mg aspirin every day and 4 Aleve 220 mg.for osteoarthritis every day.I need to have surgery on my nose so i had to go off of aspirin and Aleve and just take acetaminophen.All of this is happening at the same time;is Metoprolol withdrawal as well as not ...

Seven HIV meds in 6 pills, one Lextiva, I take three pills twice a day. going to maybe see my cardiologist, end of the month. I do not want to wait that long. seeing my ID doc on the 25th (cardio on 30th). Have two stents, in for long time, each done at dif times. Never had a heart attack. Dying of a heart attack would not be bad. Need to improve my life QUALITY. Living in a not great rest home, in Boston MA . Hale House is not bad but the 50 other people here most have mental problems. Hi I.Q. but mild aspergers.

Hi everyone who is suffering the horrible side effects of Metoprolol withdrawal (including myself). I just got off about 4 days ago. I am doing a cleanse to get this stuff out of my body. Also eating a lot of fruits, veggies and fiber rich foods. I'm feeling a little better today. Day 2 & 3 were HORRIBLE. Juicing is also beneficial. Just thought this may help. ## Hi, Becky! Sorry about the problems that you're having. However, Metoprolol is a beta blocker that's used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions, so it shouldn't cause serious withdrawal effects. The most serious problem that usually occurs, when someone stops taking it is due to the rebound effect that it can cause. This can result in someone developing seriously elevated blood pressure...

I am on 40mg of Lisinipril and 50 mg of metroprolol. BP was high so I went from 25 to 50 metroprolol. 50 making me feel dizzy and light headed. 25 was good. Doc say take every thing in the morning but I am wondering if I can take the extra 25mg of metroprolol in the pm before bed so I do not feel so bad during the day ## Normally, such side effects will wear off after a few weeks, after your body adjusts to the new dosage. However, if the symptoms are that problematic then splitting the dosages can be a good thing to do, but you should check with your doctor first to make sure it is okay for you to do so.

The doctor recently took me off metoprolol because it was discovered that I have asthma.She replaced it with diltiazwm which caused my heart rate to increase to 133 and upped my blood pressure. Now I'm back on the metoprolol until I see my doctor again. Is there another medication for high blood pressure that you could recommend to replace metoprolol? I was also prescribed ventolin for the asthma. ## Hi, Lin! How long did you take the Diltiazem? Your blood pressure and heart rate normally would elevate for a few days, when you first switch from one medication to another. The 133 is rather high, but did you call your doctor about it. yet? Since the beta blockers can cause trouble with asthma, you are going to have to switch to something else, however, only your doctor can help you fi...

Can Metoprolol cause coughing as a known side effect? I am advised to use Metoprolol for my blood pressure, but now I am suffering from asthmatic issues. ## Hi, Moideen! How are you? Metoprolol is a beta blocker that's used to treat hypertension and yes, it can cause those types of side effects in some people that take it, though it doesn't happen very often. Unfortunately, once a beta blocker causes those side effects, they don't usually go away and the person generally has to switch to a different medication. Have you consulted your doctor about it, yet?

What's the connection between metoprolol tartrate and depression? I'm on 50mg tablets twice a day and by the end of the day I'm ready to cry for no reason. I used to take 12.5mg but wasn't doing its job of lowering my BP. So the doc put me on a higher dosage. ## Yes, it has been known to cause depression in 2 to 5% of the people that took it during clinical trials. Learn more Metoprolol details here. Have you discussed it with your doctor? It's most likely just not the right medication for you to take and you'll need to try something else. ## Thanks for your reply back. I appreciate that. No I haven't discussed it with my endocrinologist yet but I will as soon as I get an appointment with him which I don't know when. By the way are you a doctor?

I am taking Metoprolol,25 mg.,and have been taken off Amlodipine. My pill is white,and labeled M18 with nothing on the other side. Can you please tell me,what medications are combined in it. I have not seen anyone else write about this particular drug.My pulse went down to 30,and I now have a pacemaker,to keep it from dropping below 60. Prior to that,My pulse went up to 140. I only take the Metoprolol,when my pulse gets high.I am also taking Lisinopril,when my Blood Pressure gets to high.If I take the Lisenopril and the Metoprolol,in combination,my blood pressure gets to low,so I cannot take them at the same time,it gets very frustrating. Do you think I should seek a second oppinon from a cardiologist,my cardiologist,told me Metoprolol,would not be lowering my B.P., he said it had no ef...

I am a doctor and I have a weird problem for quite sometime. My left eye used to drains tears ( don't know how to frame it correctly). I had to wipe my eyes every few minutes. A few months back I self diagnosed myself with hypertension, although now I believe I am not hypertensive. I started taking metoprolol and to my surp rise, the drainage from my eye stopped. I have tried stopping metoprolol, for a few days and my blood pressure remains normal but the drainage starts the very day I stop metoprolol. I have also tried amlodipine to see if that helps (don't want to continue beta blocker because i have abnormal lipid profile) but that does not help with drainage. No eye pain, foreign body sensation and intraocular pressure normal. If anyone has any experience or information about t
