why was Metoprolol recalled and what date? ## "Sandoz is voluntarily extending the September 17, 2008, recall of Metoprolol Succinate Extended Release Tablets 25mg and 50mg, to include all strengths of distributed lots with expiration dates through August 2010. This voluntary action by Sandoz is due to deficiencies in documentation practices and in-process controls for this product.

My doctor just put on Metoprolol ER Succinate 25 mg is this part of the recent recall? ## Metoprolol is a beta blocker that is used to treat hypertension and some cardiac problems. As to whether or not it was part of the recall, I can't tell you anything, without knowing the manufacturer of the particular pills you have receive, since this a generic that is made by several different companies and not all were involved in the recall. However, it is doubtful that they are, since your pharmacy would have already removed anything that met the criteria of the recall from their shelves and returned them, so they are not dispensed to the public. This medication may cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and headache. Learn more: Are there any other questions?

Is this generic drug still available. it is not the release. Why was the release taken off shelf? ## There has been some talk about this within the community. There is an original discussion thread about this which you might be interested to read: . Additionally, ETHEX has issued a voluntary recall of a number of their products (including Metoprolol Succinate ER Tablets, 100mg) because "they may have been manufactured under conditions that did not sufficiently comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices" [1].

I would like to know why I have this drug metoprolol succinate ER 25 if it was recalled. Is it now considerred safe? Has the lawsuit been heard yet? I want off of this stuff and am so ticked that my doctor not only put me on it but never explained any symtoms, or how it should be taken. Where does responsibility begin with a Doctor today? ## A doctor is not a pharmacist and does not have the same schooling. Most doctors prescribe medications according to safety and efficacy, they usually know very little about the side effects or any other information on it. That said, the recall ONLY affected tablets manufactured by one company, not ALL! Since it is a generic medication, it is made by several different companies. As to how to take it, you should follow the instructions provided by your...

medium size, white, oval, scored tablet, number 369 imprinted on tablet ## Metoprolol Succinate Er 50mg Tabs with numbers 369 imprinted. Have been recalls of this drug or class action suits, also has anyone using this drug developed severe back pain ## The drug manufacturer, Ethex, has voluntarily recalled most of their products due to fears of possible quality control issues. Back pain is not listed as a normal side effect, so I suggest you speak to your doctor in order to obtain a proper diagnosis. Has anyone else experienced unusual problems using this? ## Thank you for the insight, as to quality control issues do you know what there concerns were. ## No, I am sorry, they did not release that information. ## there is more to this drug than is being told, and I would appricitae anyone...

was this medication recalled. how dangerous of a drug is it ## I haven't found anything listing it as having been recalled and I also checked the FDA recalls listing. And the last thing from Wockhardt that I found listed as a recall was a narcotic pain medication over a year ago and that wasn't in the U.S. Learn more Metoprolol details here. Where did you learn about the recall? If you can post back with more information, I'll gladly take a gander at it and see what I can find to verify.

my dr gave me metoprolol er (time release) today. 25mg to help lower my heart rate and blood pressure. I took it and about 3 hrs later stared feeling so strange. my face got real hot and it feels like there pressure in my head. I read that the generic brand could be different than the name brand toprol xl and that it could spike blood pressure. I called the pharmacy and he assured me it was the same thing and that it only lowers BP. did anyone else experience this when first starting metoprolol er? also it hasn't seemed to lower my heart rate either. btw I also just started taking Zoloft as well. any help or advice would be appreciated. thanks. ## It actually may have been caused by taking them together, since the Sertraline in the Zoloft can increase the effect of the Metoprolol, i...

Anyone know any info on this? ## I have seen this information too, but I am not sure which manufacturers it applies to.

Believe this is Mylan Metropolol succinate ER 25 mg. Was this part of the recalled Mylan Metropolol succinate ER that was recalled? ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? Yes, this is listed in the databases as containing 25mgs of Metoprolol in an extended release formulation. According to the FDA, this medication is a beta blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Possible side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, hypotension, stomach pain and increased urination. As to whether or not it was part of a recall, there's no way to be sure, without knowing how old the tablet is, or what lot it came from. Do you still have the pharmacy bottle? If so, that should enable your pharmacy to check for you. Are there any other quest...
