No, it will still be fine. As long as a medication isn't time released, cutting it will not cause any change to its efficacy. My cardiologist prescribes my heart medication, (Losartan) like this to save me added expense, then I cut or break them to take twice daily.
The FDA lists the typical side effects of Metoprolol as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.
In many cases, your pharmacy can even make sure to fill your prescription with tablets that are scored for easier cutting/breaking.
Is there anything else I can help with?
