Metoprolol Er

I would like to know if Metoprolol is a ganaric for Digoxin? ## Hello, Joyce! How are you? No, these are 2 different medications. The brand name for Digoxin is Lanoxin, it is used to treat various heart conditions, namely a-fib. However, Metoprolol is a beta blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, though it can also help with some heart conditions. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and lowered heart rate. Is there anything else I can help with?

My most recent refill of Metoprolol 25 mg came with white oval shaped pills twice the size of the previous prescription--I had none left from that supply to compare. Could they possibly be different dosages? ## It could be, or it could just be that the company uses different fillers, so their tablets are larger. What are the markings on the tablets?

Can metoprolol 100 cause ear pain ## Hi Roy, Metoprolol doesn't appear to list any adverse effects associated with ear pain in particular. However I have noticed a number of reports from users taking this medication who experienced what they call a "pulsating/ringing/buzzing" sound in the ear. That said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it does cause ear pain in some patients as a result of this low/high pitch frequency. If it has become too bothersome or severe, I would just suggest contacting your doctor and/or reporting it to the FDA's MedWatch (Adverse events) program online at fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch. Do you think the ear ache could possibly be related to something else as well? Or does it only happen when you take this medication? ## I have been on metoprolol ...

My daughter has a pacemaker due to electrical problems with her heart from the Mustard Procedure for Transposition of the Great Arteries. She is 24 and has had the PaceMaker fo 2 years. Within the last few months she had 1 life threatening low heart rate. Will metoprolol success er help prevent the low rate. If she continues to have low rate may need to put in a defribilator. ## Hello, Clide! How are you and your daughter? It's actually succinate, not success, but anyway, it could actually cause her heart rate to go low, so it's kind of iffy. These beta blockers can sometimes cause low heart rate as a side effect, along with nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain. Has it been prescribed for her? She might do better with something that just helps with overall heart function...

United Healthcare is raising the copay on this ptescription and recommending Metoprolol tartrate, . arvedilol or atenolol. Titled subject is $45 in 2012 vice $3. for alternatives. Are the alternatives safe, same side-effect, and would my doctor have to change the prescription with my supplier? ## Yes, they all pretty much have the possibility of causing the same side effects. However, the Carvedilol is known to cause them far less often than the other options you mentioned. And yes, your doctor would have to give you a new prescription, because a pharmacy can't just change it, without their approval. Here are more details on these medications: Are there any other questions or comments?

When does it start to release the meds? ## Hi, Bill! How are you doing? It will start to release some within a very short time of swallowing it. What are you expecting from it? This is a beta blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions, so you aren't going to experience a radical change immediately. It takes time for these types of medications to reach their full level of efficacy in your body to do their job. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and hair loss. Learn more Metoprolol details here. ## I've been regular metoprolol for almost 7 years. So it will take awhile to kick in? Why do I feel really tried and crappy?

oblong tablet, G282 imprint on back, scored on front to break in half ## I could not find anything with that marking in the US prescription drug database listings, however, Metoprolol is the generic for Lopressor or Toprol, the ER stands for extended release.

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?
