is side effect itching and rashes ## No, those aren't normal side effects. Have you consulted your doctor? Metoprolol is a beta blocker, so what you may be experiencing are some circulatory issues that it may be causing. Thus, it may not be the right medication for you and you should discuss it with your doctor. ## Is Metaprol Tar 100mg by Ranbaxy the same as Metoprolol Tar 100mg by Teva?

Half incl long oval with 369 on side ## I don't have a picture to post due to copyright reasons, but for anyone still looking, I can confirm that this matches the description of a 50mg extended release Metoprolol tablet, as listed in several prescription drug resources. You can learn more Metoprolol details here. It is a beta blocker that's commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, low blood pressure and stomach pain. Are there any comments or questions? Is there anything I can help with?

it's a round white pill with a re 76 and a line through it and the other side is blank it's a mideum sized pill could you tell me what it is plz ## The pill in description is identified as Metoprolol tartrate (100 mg), which is used in the treatment of several diseases of the cardiovascular system, especially hypertension. Manufacturer: Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. National Drug Code (NDC): 63304-0581 You can learn more about this drug on the page for Metoprolol Details Hope this helps! ## My thinking is pretty simple. If you "found" "a" pill, there are only two things you need to know. 1) You don't have a prescription and you don't know where it's been so you shouldn't be taking it... therefore, 2) you don't even need to know what it is unles...

white, scored, round, imprinted with # 293 ## That is correct, Metoprolol is a beta blocker that's commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. You can learn more Metoprolol details here. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and hair loss. Are there any questions or comments?

are these the same drug? I have both and want to be sure they are the same. ## Metoprolol Succinate is an extended-release medication and Metoprolol Tartrate is an immediate-release medication. Because Metoprolol Tartrate is an immediate release tab, it would most likely require the patient to take additional pills throughout the day in comparison to the extended release version. Additionally, generics may also have different levels of potency (as they are allowed to contain up to 20% more or less of the actual active ingredient). Furthermore, each tablet has its own composition of inactive ingredients (binders/fillers) that can also significantly effect the absorption rate of the drug itself, making it more or less effective overall. I hope this info helps to answer your question! ## T...

my dr gave me metoprolol er (time release) today. 25mg to help lower my heart rate and blood pressure. I took it and about 3 hrs later stared feeling so strange. my face got real hot and it feels like there pressure in my head. I read that the generic brand could be different than the name brand toprol xl and that it could spike blood pressure. I called the pharmacy and he assured me it was the same thing and that it only lowers BP. did anyone else experience this when first starting metoprolol er? also it hasn't seemed to lower my heart rate either. btw I also just started taking Zoloft as well. any help or advice would be appreciated. thanks. ## It actually may have been caused by taking them together, since the Sertraline in the Zoloft can increase the effect of the Metoprolol, i...

Checking to see if white pill, marked M and then 3 below the cut line, is in fact metoprolo er tab suc 100mg. First time I've seen these. They are larger than the last generics I got. I'd feel better if the 3 were a 1..... CVS - caremark sent these. The local CVS had no idea what they were. ## My last prescription for Metoprolo er tab suc 50mg was a white round with m50. Doctor called in prescription renewal. They are a thicker round white pill with m2. Mfr is Dr. Reddy's. I don't know mfr of m50. Both are mail order from CVS Caremark. Are these the same pill? ## Yes, from what I've found, both of these tablets are listed in the prescription drug databases as extended release Metoprolol. The one with the M2 contains 50mgs and the one with the M3 contains 100mgs. For ...

After ordering some tests thyroid panel (normal), sugar test (not diabetic), cholesterol (less than 150). He sent me to a cardiologist after seeing something slightly off kilter (something on the left axis?) The cardiologist said it was within normal but did prescribe Metoprolol 25mg tartrate 2x a day. He also said to eat a bag of chips on occasion, increase my salt intake and drink caffiene.

Is it ok to take with multivit...

was this medication recalled. how dangerous of a drug is it ## I haven't found anything listing it as having been recalled and I also checked the FDA recalls listing. And the last thing from Wockhardt that I found listed as a recall was a narcotic pain medication over a year ago and that wasn't in the U.S. Learn more Metoprolol details here. Where did you learn about the recall? If you can post back with more information, I'll gladly take a gander at it and see what I can find to verify.

can the change from metoprol 40mg to metoprolol ER50mg cause a persistent cough? ## HI Lois, Based on my research, persistent coughing isn't listed as a side effect of Metoprolol, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen to anyone. When taking any medication, or especially if you're increasing the dose of a medication, you may experience some rare side effects while your body adjusts. Are you taking any other medications that might interact with the Metoprolol?

i notice that it may cause drowsiness...i can't remember if i should take it at night or in the am... ## should I take Metoporol at night or in the morning? ## In regards to this question, since it is asked very frequently, you really have to see when it works best for you. Normally, your doctor prefers that it be taken in the morning, so it can help control your blood pressure or heart condition during the time of day when you are most active and will normally experience the most fluctuations. Learn more Metoprolol details here. However, if it causes too much drowsiness, it may be necessary to take it at night, but make sure to check with your doctor, first. Are there any other questions that I can help with?
