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 close to running out.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Be careful substituting the two because succ I think is the time released form of this drug. Plus, I do believe the succ has been recalled, all dosages.
