How reliable is the Indian Manufacturer Aurobindo of Metoprolol Tart 50mg any complaints? . I have been taking this medicine made by Teva for a few years . My Pharmacy changed to Aurobindo. My BP is stable and I don't want this to change in any way by taking a different generic. ## Hello, Redd! How are you? You should be fine, even though it is made by a different manufacturer, it does have to meet the same rigid quality control and efficacy guidelines as all the others. 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? ## who is the manufacturer for Metoprolol Tartrate and how can I get a M F discount card?

White round pill with a capital M on one side and on the other side 736. Someone said it was for blood pressure. ## The closest match I could find is a white round pill with W over 736 on one side and scored on the back, that is reportedly identified as Metoprolol succinate ER (100 mg) - A medication used for treating high blood pressure. For verification, the manufacturer is listed as Wockhardt USA. I've yet to come across anything with the exact description you supplied, but will be sure to post back if I do. Does anyone else here recognize this as being something different?

But still my BP level is not fully controlled and after the medication too, my BP level is @130/90. And i've been having some side effects too like dizziness,headache and my neck randomly becomes stiff.

what is the difference between metoprolol tartrate tabs and metoprolol succ[toprol]er tabs ## There is no real different, the Tartrate and Succinate just designate the specific chemical salt it is derive from, but it is still the same medication and will work in the same manner. Metoprolol is a beta blocker that is used to treat high blood pressure and some cardiac problems and it may cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.

MY TABLETS WERE PINK, NOW THEY'ER WHITE ## Hello, Yes Metroprolol comes in a variety of apperances, including pink, blue, and white colors. The white ones are probably Torprol XL, branded versions of this drug. Can you post the strength of the pills as well as any imprints which appear on them? That way someone could most likely reply with the exact dosage. Linds ## I have been taking Metoprolol ER 100MG Tab Wat and it is a white round tablet with the number 832 on the back. It was time for a refill and I received a white oval shaped tablet with M on one side and MT2 on the other side. Is this the same? If not what is the difference? ## The tablet with the M MT2 marking contains 50mgs of Metoprolol in an extended release formulation. It has just been manufactured by a different comp...

I have been taking metoprolol tar 25 mg twice a day for years. I have had 2 open heart surgeries 10 yrs apart, diagnosis coronary artery disease and hypertension. Also take lopressure 10 mg daily and imdur 120mg twice daily for angina. My Bp skyrocketed to 210 over 108 about 3 weeks ago was admitted to hospital to bring it down. Dr added added losartan 100mg daily upon discharge. Bp is better but still running high. Had Dr apt today and was told to increase metoprolol from 25mg twice a day to 50mg twice a day. Told me to let him know if I felt funny, and that it slows heart rate. Well now im all freaked out i already suffer anxiety attacks and this worries me. Am I overreacting?

I have been taking Atenolol 50mg for about 4 years to treat my hypertension; it was working wonderfully, but I suddenly had to switch to Metoprolol Succ. ER 3 months ago because of a manufacturer shortage of Atenolol. I took it just as I did the Atenolol: which was whenever I woke up/got my day started, I paid no mind to missing a dose here and there (such as when I felt like sleeping all day) or whether or not I was taking it with a meal---so basically totally wrong. I realize now I was not taking the Atenolol exactly as indicated, but it never posed a significant problem. However, my BP levels are basically where they were before I ever started Atenolol now that I have switched to Metoprolol ER (135/85-150/90 something). The day I went to my doctor for my 3 month checkup (which was 2 ...

Hi, I have been taking Metoprolol 12mg daily. for palpitations. (this is only my thrid dose). I don't like the side effects, my heart rate was 53 last nite... I want to stop taking this med. How can I stop? Thank you. ## There are many people that have problems due to the side effects of this class of medications. That said, however, since you are taking it for such a serious condition, it is not advisable to just stop abruptly. It can cause a rebound effect that could make your palpitations worse. You should contact your doctor, immediately, regarding this matter. Have you tried getting in touch with your doctor, yet? ## I am on 100 mg per day of Metoprolol for borderline HBP. I've been on the med about six months, but the last month I've been experiencing non-stop heart pa...

Is 50mg metoprolol succ er equal to 50mg of atenolol? ## Actually, no since they are the same dosage, they are not equivalent. For each 50mgs of Atenolol, you'd need 100mgs of the Metoprolol. Did your doctor make this dosage change, or are you trying to figure it out on your own? Learn more Metoprolol details here. Learn more Atenolol details here. ## Dr is switching me from 100 mg atenolol daily to 100 mg metoprolol. I’m nervous as to what side effects I might have. Any clue?

I have been taking Lexapro for the last 10 months. I have recently stopped. This week I feel very light headed, dizzy and absolutley exhausted. I am having difficulty sleeping also. I have had a pretty busy week as I work and I have a daughter of 18 months to look after also. Can you advise me of a course of action please? ## Have you consulted your doctor? Why did you stop taking the Lexapro? It contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant and, after taking it continuously for that long, a sudden cessation will normally result in some withdrawal symptoms and rebound effects, because your body has gotten used to having it. Usually these medications need to be tapered, over a period of time, to help prevent the worst of these problems from occurring. ## I ...

I have white coat and anxiety. My doctor has had me on Metoprolol 100mg succinate once a day and just switched me to 100mg tartrate twice a day since my BP was high in his office. Is this dangerous or the dosage too high? Seems like a high dosage. ## Hello, Kera! How are you? What are your bp levels at other times? If it's really only high, when you're in the doctor's office, a medication isn't necessary. Even an ER won't treat for that, they will only do so if levels are dangerously elevated. As to the medication, it is actually safe in doses up to 450mgs a day. ## I take Lisinopril 10 mg a day and Metoprolol 100 mg at night. My blood pressure is still elevated around 150s/90s. My cardiologist has told me to double the Metoprolol to 100 mg a day. That seems like a l...

I've been on 25mg, Extended Release, of Metroprolol Succinate for a while, about four or five years I think - never on a higher dosage. It was prescribed for hypertension, along with Diltiazem and Hydrochlorothiazide. The doctor took me off of the Diltiazem about a year ago, so now it's just been the Hydro and Metoprolol. I've lost 60 pounds in the last year, and my heart rate was very low when I saw the doctor on Friday, so he said to discontinue the Metoprolol. I asked him if I should wean off of them, and he said no, it was perfectly OK to stop them cold turkey. I told him that when I had run out of pills a few months back for about three days, my heart started racing and beating erratically. He still said it was OK to just stop them. I've been Googling this, and can ...

What should I do? I took 2 metoprolol 50mg but my dose is 1. My other meds are white and looked alike. ## It is always best to check with your doctor to be sure. Did you experience any adverse events? In most cases, doubling up just once isn't a huge problem, according to the FDA, but you may experience lower blood pressure and heart rate than usual, as well as nausea and dizziness. ## I missed my dose at 11pm but took it at 2am. Can i still take my metoprolol tartrate 25mg dose at 11 tonight? ## I've been taking Metoprolol 100 mg 1x daily and just found out that my pharmacy gave me 50mg pills which I've been taking 1x a day and only recently realized the mistake. What will happen when I start back on 100 mg tomorrow?

Since, two years I have been taking these two medicines regularly. Now, I hope there are side effects. The problem is my hands & legs gets numb when I sit or lay atleast for 10/20 minutes in the same position. Should I start taking these medicines with a gap of 5/7 days a week will this help in reducing the numbness in my body or should stop taking these medicines ## Both of them can have effects on your circulation, so you may be on too high of a dosage. Metosartan contains Metoprolol and Telmisartan, both of which are used to help treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Learn more Metoprolol details here.
