I am taking metoprolol succ er 25 mg once a day. My insurance co. doesn't cover these pills. I am cosidering taking metoprolol tartr 25 mg instead ( 1/2 a pill every 12 hours ). Would that be equivelant? And is that a good idea?>>>>Howard ## Yes, it would pretty much work the same. I had to do the same thing with some of my blood pressure medications. I have no insurance and there is no generic of the time released ones, so I go the regular, which is on the $4 prescription plan and just take it twice a day. However, this may not work well for everyone, so you'll need to try it, for about a month, and monitor your condition, to see if it's working for you. To be honest, the reason most doctors will prescribe something that is time released or a larger dose to ...

Oval pill, scored in the center, marked 358 on the unscored side. Was allegedly supposed to be a generic for Toprol 200 mg.

I took Metoprolol tartrate tabs 50 mg,mfg by greenstone, is this the same drug? ## The 25mg would be a lower dosage and the ER designates the 25mg one as being a time released formulation. Metoprolol is a beta blocker used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions, Did your doctor make this change in the dosing and formulation? Such changes shouldn't be made, without your doctor's approval, because sudden changes to the dosing of this medication may cause rebound effects, which could include elevated heart rate and blood pressure.

Please tell me the difference between cardibeta tablets & cardibeta 'xr' tablets? ## They both contain the active ingredient Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker used to treat high blood pressure and various cardiac conditions. The only different is that the XR designates the one as being a time released formulation. Rather than releasing all of the medication, at once, it is slowly released to help better control your medical condition. Learn more: Are there any other questions?

My doctor just put on Metoprolol ER Succinate 25 mg is this part of the recent recall? ## Metoprolol is a beta blocker that is used to treat hypertension and some cardiac problems. As to whether or not it was part of the recall, I can't tell you anything, without knowing the manufacturer of the particular pills you have receive, since this a generic that is made by several different companies and not all were involved in the recall. However, it is doubtful that they are, since your pharmacy would have already removed anything that met the criteria of the recall from their shelves and returned them, so they are not dispensed to the public. This medication may cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and headache. Learn more: Are there any other questions?

I underwent Angioplasty in July 2010 and one Stent was kept. My cardiologist prescribed one tablet of Seloken 25 mg daily and I am taking it regularly.

Kindly inform me whether both the tablets are indicated for high blood pressure and whether or not I can take both medications together. ## Seloken contains the active ingredient Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker that is used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain. Repace contains the active ingredient Losartan, which is an ARB that is also used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions. The side effects are similar to those of the Metoprolol in t...

I am weening off this betablocker....can I cut the 25 Milligram tablet in half? ## Generally, if there is a score line on the pill, it is meant to be cut in half for these circumstances. Each tablet for oral administration contains either 25 mg, 50 mg or 100 mg of Metoprolol. I haven't seen anything less than 25mg, but I don't see any reason personally why it wouldn't be ok to cut it in half and still take it as recommended by your doctor. ## Thx David...yes it does have a score line.
