I am a patient of Hypertension with dystolic dysfunction. My dystolic B P never goes below 85. I am taking Metolar-XR50 for last five year. My systolic BP is controlled with this medicine but Dystolic B P is unchanged. Recently I started taking amlodepine 25 in addition to the Metalor XR50. Is it safe for me I am 46 Year of age.

may i take metolar25 two insted of 50 mg one ? ## That should be fine, unless your doctor has told you not to do so. As long as it's the regular release formulation, however, it should work the same as taking one of the larger dose tablets. Learn more Metolar details here. This medication contains the beta blocker Metoprolol, which is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain. Have you consulted your doctor?

I am a 35 yr young man, working on cruise ships. I had varicose veins on both legs & had a vascular surgery done on my legs, after which I was advised to take walks by the doctor. However, when I brisk walked. I felt like on those days my pressure would rise. I get very upset & irritated about most things especially on those days. I do have high blood pressure too. When I approached my vascular surgeon, he prescribed Metolar XR-25. My questions are: Is it ok for me to be taking this medication at this age? If yes, then for how long do I need to continue this medication? What do I need to do to improve my condition without the medication? Will exercise help & what kind of exercises should I do? Kindly advise. ## Hi, Lenny! What were your blood pressure readings that resulted ...

I am 53. BP normal with medicine. My weight is 52 kg. Ht 164 cms. Taking Metolar AM 50 for last 8 yrs. Can I continue it for life long. What precaution should I take to minimise the side effects. Pl adv. ## There is really nothing you can do, if side effects, or long-term usage effects are going to happen, they are going to happen, no matter what you try. However, it is far more dangerous to let your blood pressure raise out of control, than it is to take the medication, since severely elevated blood pressure could cause heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. You should take it, as long as your doctor instructs you to do so. Are you on any othe...

i am a man taking metolar xr-50 feeling acidic-gas and desentry type trouble ## HI, Harshad! Sorry about the way you're feeling. Metolar XR contains the active ingredient Metoprolol in a time released formulation, it is a beta blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. And those can be normal side effects that it causes in some people, but they should start to taper off after about 4 to 6 weeks as your body gets used to the medication. If they don't, or if they get worse, you should consult your doctor as it may be that it's just not the right medication for you to take. Learn more Metoprolol details here. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Based on a CT coronary angiogram i have the following problems: "non-dominant calcified plaques in proximal LCX causing mild stenosis + calcified plaques in left anterior descending/circumflex coronary artery + dominant calcified plaques in proximal, mid RCA causing foci of mild stenosis". I am consuming Ecosprin AV 75 MG since 9 months and Metolar XR 50 since 6 months.

I USED TO TAKE STAMLO BETA ONCE DAILY FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BOUT OF HIGH PRESSURE SO DOCTOR PRESCRIBED METOLAR XR 50 (ONCE), AND LOSAR 10 (TWICE). ON FURTHER CHECKUP HE FOUND MY BP AS 160/90 SO HE ADDED MINIPRES 5. I AM SO CONFUSED. SHOULD I TAKE ALL THESE?

I am taking above medicines. BP is controlled. Before adding metolar XR50 about 3 months ago, My BP was 140/90 only for two days. My BP is getting very low. I am also diabetic taking zoreyl3, einselin2, glyciphage 6(500) mg. My sugar got low to 54. I stopped the medicines for diabetes as per dr for 2 days. Itake 75 mug thyroxine and t3 t4 TSH are well maintained. My pathological reports for kidney, chlorestal, HDL,LDL,Etc are within limits. ## Amlogard contains the active ingredient Amlodipine. Metolar XR is a controlled release formulation of Metoprolol. Tozaar contains the active ingredient Losartan. All of these are commonly used to help lower blood pressure. How low are your current blood pressure readings? If it was only high for 2 days, then I have to wonder why your doctor added ...
