I take Metropolol 50 mg once a day, can I take the new pill for weight loss, Qualis? ## Metoprolol is a beta blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Learn more Metoprolol details here. That said, if you're referring to the Phentermine manufactured by Qualis Pharma, then no, it likely isn't safe for you to take if you have high blood pressure or a cardiac condition. It is a stimulant that can elevate heart rate and blood pressure, which could put you in serious danger. Learn more Phentermine details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

I ran out of my prescription metoprolyl tartrate 50 mg and pharmacy was closed due to labor day. can i take my sister's metoprolyl succ. 25 mg until I get the refill tomorrow evening? I was supposed to take one this morning and will need another tomorrow morning but pharmacy not open early enough... ## I hope you received an answer before now, but future reference of anyone that may need to know....yes, they are both the same medication, just derived from different chemical salts in the manufacturing process, but work the same and have the same therapeutic effect. Learn more Metoprolol details here. However, since missing doses of these types of medications can be very dangerous due to a rebound effect, the safest thing to do is to make sure you pick up a refill before you are that ...

why prescribed 2 BP meds. Metoprolol Tartate 12.5mg 2x daily and a 20 mg tab of Lisinopril once a day. Thanks , Joe ## More than one medication is often prescribed, if someone's blood pressure still shows elevation and one medication isn't doing the job by itself. Metoprolol is a beta blocker and the Lisinopril is aACE inhibitor and combining two different hypertension medications like this may result in better lowering and control of blood pressure.

i was put on metoprolol 25mg and i caused major side effects in me i stopped it after 2 days and its been 2 weeks and im still having side effects from this medication i had blurred vision,clogged ears, and terrible shooting pains in my head i m praying it all goes away in time... ## Side effects shouldn't still be lingering if you only took it for 2 days and stopped it over 2 weeks ago. Were you taking it for high blood pressure? If so, then some of the effects you're experiencing could also be from that. Learn more high blood pressure details here. Have you contacted your doctor? Hypertension is a serious condition that you can't just let go untreated, doing so puts your life at risk.

TAKING METOPROLOL 25 MG. AT 7 AM AND 1 PM. IS THE TIME SPAN BETWEEN PILLS OKAY ## What do the prescription instructions say, does it direct that it be taken every 12 hours, or just twice a day? What have your blood pressure levels been showing? Learn more Metoprolol details here. Some doctors do want you take it them this way, around breakfast and lunch time, so that it helps to control your blood pressure and heart rate during the times of day that you are most active, but some do want you to give more time between them. ## iam using metoprolol 25 half tablet in morning.it is not possible to divide half half due to hardly.please inform

I'm taking Metoprolol Tartrate 50mg since June 2012 and it says I can't take multivitamins while I'm on these. I've been having menstrual cramping but when I was taking multivitamins I really didn't have them. Is there a way that I can take multivitamins without interfering with the metoprolol? ## Hi Ann, I find this interaction to be odd, simply because there are vitamins and minerals in all of the foods we eat. By saying that you can't take multivitamins, it's essentially saying that you can't eat period, which makes no sense by any means of logical thinking. Lol! If I had to suggest something, it would be taking raw multivitamins (such as the one's by Garden of Life). These vitamins are still in their natural unaltered state and therefore should be...

I have a matroplol prescription I've been taken for a few months since I had a stent. I have been getting anxiety and my family doctor told me to double my dose from 50mg to 100mg. A week or so after increasing the dose, I've been experiencing dizzieness daily. Could the added motropolol be causing the dizzieness. ## Yes, it certainly could be causing it and it can do so in a few different ways. One could be if this dosage is too high for you and your blood pressure is going too low and the other could be just as a side effect of the higher dosage. Learn more Metoprolol details here. Have you checked your blood pressure recently? What have the levels been?

I take Metoprolol Tartrate 12.5 Mg twice a day and every time I have my PM dose, within one hour I endure the feeling of an irregular heartbeat or palpatations and panic attacks. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. ## Metoprolol is a beta blocker and it can cause palpitations as a side effect, in some people. However, there are also other things that may cause it, such as too much caffeine, blood pressure and/or heart rate spikes and etc. Learn more Metoprolol information here.

My doctor prescribed 25 mg at bedtime. It caused terrible nightmares and I was unable to fall back asleep after. I only took it for 3 nights then threw the rest of the pills in the garbage. ## I don't blame you for wanting to get rid of the rest of those pills. A lot of prescription drugs have side effects that are unbearable. Have you talked to your doctor yet about what happened? If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online at fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch or by phone 1-800-332-1088. I hope this helps! ## Thanks David. I'm seeing the doctor on Thursday and will give a full report. Sometimes a side effect of a pill is worse than the disease.

After bypass surgery on July 2009, I have been taking SELOKEN XL 25 alongwith other medicines. .Now Doctor has prescribed BETALOC 25.instead of SELOKEN. My q.. is whether they are of same purpose? ## They are the same medication, they both contain the active ingredient Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker that's used to treat hypertension and cardiac conditions, such as yours. The only different in what you listed is that the Seloken XL was time released and the Betaloc you listed is a regular release formulation of it. Learn more Metoprolol details here.

I have been taking prolomet XL 50 for a long time. Recently I got a supply of prolomet AM 50. Are these drugs interchangeable and can I switch from one to the other? What actually is the difference between these two in terms of the symptoms / diagnosis for which these are used and other effects? ## Prolomet XL contains the active ingredient Metoprolol in a time released formulation, it is a beta blocker that's used to treat hypertension, as well as certain cardiac conditions. The Prolomet AM combines the Metoprolol with the calcium channel blocker Amlodipine, for better blood pressure control. And no, therefore they are not interchangeable, because one contains an additional medication.

I have been taking 50 mg twice a day of metoprolol tartrate since May. Doc wants to double the dose all at once...200 mg a day because BP was elevated a little (from a panic attack, I believe). So the 50 mg scored pills were a pink pill. The 100 mg pills are blue scored pills. If I am too afraid to double the dose all at once, is cutting the scored 100 mg tablet the same as two 50 mg tablets? I do have panic/anxiety disorder and med phobia..thats why I am too afraid to double the dose all at once, especially because of the side effects I had when I started the 50 mg tablets...i.e., anxiety, nervouness, dizziness. I expressed to her my concern and she said, "you"ll be fine". Completely did not understand or care about my concerns. Thanks for any answers you can give as far as...

The Dr. started me on metoprolol 25 mg in the p.m. Then when the palpitations and afib came back it went to twice a day a.m. and p.m.. In the last fhree months I have experienced more sleepless nights and anxiety and was blaming it on my nerves....NO, this medicine is not kind to the body or mind in my opinion! I was ready to take an antidepressant until I read all the side effects....not good folk, good luck! ## Yes, unfortunately Metoprolol has been known to cause such issues in some people that take it, though it really isn't that common, but I also had problems with it.

I currently take metoprolol fir high blood pressure. I want to start using a product called Fertility Blend to help me conceive. Can the two be taken safely together? ## Fertility Blend is a nutritional supplement, which means it actually hasn't been proven to help with fertility, nor has it been tested for possible interactions with prescription medications. That said, you should check with your doctor first, because too much or too little of some of the nutrients it contains can be dangerous, so they may wish to check your levels of them first, before you start this.

My doctor instructed me to use Betaloc 25mg tablets for high blood pressure, but now the pharmacist has informed me that Betaloc is not currently available in the market. So my question is, what is an effective alternative medicine for Betaloc 25mg? ## Betaloc contains the active ingredient Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker that's used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. So you could just ask your doctor/chemist for another medication that contains the same active ingredient.
