How To Take Metoprolol?

Updated

I been taking TOPAL XL extended relese 200mg once a day. How do I take Metoprolol which is not extended release 200 mg? Do i cut each pill in half or should I use 100 mg twice a day?At one time I was taking TOPAL XL 100 mg twice a day until the drug Co would not fill the order for the 100 mg anymore. Now they are sending me 200 mg of Metoprolol.

Take it the same, it may not be clearly marked as such, but it is still a time released version.

I take 100 mg. twice a day, 12 hours apart. Total 200 mg. It works very well for me. If I forget one, I know it in a few hours by the way I feel. My bp is always low and my pulse never goes above 60.
