Metoprolol Exp Date

How long will metoprolol asked Hatron been in the bottle for one year will it still be good to tank ## Hello, Clyde! How are you? If it's an a pharmacy dispensed bottle, then it is good for one year from the date you received it. If it's still in the original factory sealed bottle, it's good for about 4 years. After that time period, it begins to lose effectiveness and you should dispose of it. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

It does not become dangerous or harmful, but it can lose effectiveness, so it may not work as well as it should. It would be best to dispose of it and obtain a new supply.

what is the shelf life for Metoprolol ER 100mg ## Hello, Based on my research, U.S. prescription medications are required to have a mandatory expiration date of 1 year from the date the prescription is filled. After a year is up, the medication should still be safe but it will start to lose its potency and can no longer be as effective. However, there are some medications that can become dangerous after they expire. That being said, it's best to not take any medication after its expiration date. The medication might have a label that explains how/where it should be stored, but if not, I would ask the pharmacist. It's usually best to keep medications in a cool dark place. I hope this info helps! ## That's a STUPID answer - "However, there are some medications that can bec...

I have been taking clopidogrel 75mg + atorvastatin 10mg + metoprolol 10mg + telmisartan 40mg for the past 3 years since the date of my Bypass surgery. My doctor told me to use them life long, but are there any adverse effects that come with long term use? ## Hello, Krishna! How are you? To be quite honest and upfront, it is far more risky for you to stop taking them, if you have a heart condition, or high blood pressure. There are risks associated with the long-term use of any medication, according to NIH reports, but untreated high blood pressure, or heart issues could be fatal. Have you experienced any issues?

MFG used to treat high blood pressure. What does MFG stand for? ## Hello, Sando! How are you? That's used to designate what company manufactured that particular pill. Usually you'll see something like Metoprolol 100mg MFG PAR, which would mean it was made by Par Laboratories, as explained by the NIH.

Se16126 madicin is Avocado soy unsaponifiables with curcumin tablets Filvestin ## On my prescription bottle it's say MFG RISING under the name of my pills which is,CHLORTHALIDONE.on my last bottle it said MFG MYLAN,and the pills used to be white and now they are tiny blue ones ## Sounds like this switched companies a different company now manufacturers your medicine
