Metoprolol Manufacturer

I have taken Mroprolol ER 100mg for eleven years. I have never paid more than $18.00 for a 90 day supply, the last being 90 days ago. Now, it has suddenly gone up to anywhere from $125 t0 $149. I would like to know why there has been the sudden escalation in price. ## Well, this site doesn't manufacture or sell any medications, this is an information only website, so I don't have a direct answer for you, but I can give you some ideas as to why the price may have changed. What pharmacy are you using? If it is a chain pharmacy, such as QFC/Kroger, Walgreens, or most of the ones that have discount drug programs, then it's likely that the prior price you were paying was the discount program price. However, such prices are only set for certain periods of time, such as year, 2 yea...

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?

I never had side effects until they switched manufacturers. Now I have severe bloating. Was wonder if anyone else experienced this? ## That can sometimes be a side effect of this medication, according to NIH reports. It can also cause nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. However, since this symptom does have the potential to cause congestive heart failure, so it would be best to consult your doctor. You may need to take a medication to reduce the fluid and keep you out of danger. Are you on any other medications?

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?

Oval pill, scored in the center, marked 358 on the unscored side. Was allegedly supposed to be a generic for Toprol 200 mg. However pharmacist dispensed twice as many as the perscription stated, with no change in directions. Manufacturer does not show this pill on its info. page. ## I should be taking 50 mg tablets however a refill from Walmart has pills marked 831. I am scared to use them. Can I use them?

HI, I have been taking Metoprolol since July . In the 7 months I have been taking it, they have changed the manufacturer three times. With such severe side effects, I don't care if it is the same pill, the filler is essential to the pill and how your body reacts to the pill. It is really frusterating to me that they keep on changing the manufacturer as they please and just saying it is the same pill. I was pretty upset the last time they changed the manufacturer because I was right in the middle of a big 3 day exam, and that was the last thing I needed. But actually what I noticed, I started to feel 100 percent better when I got on I think it is called TAB. The TAETH I was taking, I don't know what the problem was, but after about 3 months of taking it, I started to get really s...

I've been taking METOPROLOL TARTRATE 50MG tablets, white, round, with # 477 from Walgreens. Recently switched to Walmart and transferred prescription. The Walmart pill is pink, round with # C74. Are these tablets the same strength and used to treat high blood pressure? ## Hello, Fred! How are you? Yes, the tablets with the C 74 marking are manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma and they list them as containing 50mgs of Metoprolol. The FDA classifies this medication as a beta blocker, its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, hair loss, stomach pain and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is the C74 the same as the 477??? ## Yes, they have just been made by different manufacturers.

I originally had a skipping heart beat which was tested and I was found to have no heart disease. Doctor put me on Metopropol succ er 25 mg tablets once a day to lower blood pressure. I had been taking for about eight(8) months with daily periods of skipping heart beat. My pulse rate had dropped from 74 to 64 times a minute and blood pressure was probably 122/72. When I got the last months supplies of tablets they had what looks like w/b on one side. I do not know what was on previous tablets. All of a sudden my heart is not skipping a beat anymore. Is it possible that the result is due to a change in manufacturer of the pill or is it possibly just a chance occurence? I have also cut back on drinking wine and caffein use. Thank you. ## Is that the complete markings on them? Can you plea...

white tablet 293 ## This is a 25mgs tablet, generic for Toprol XL and it is manufactured by Apotex, not Ethex. Metoprolol is used to treat several types of cardiovascular diseases, including high blood pressure. Some of the most common side effects include: dizziness, headache, diarrhea and vision problems. ## I have been on Toprol xl 25 for 5 years. When it came out in the generic form, I took that. It was manufactured by Par. I recently moved and had to refill my prescription and I got it at CVS which only has Ethex generic Metoprolol XL 25. When I got the pills, I called CVS because they were a different shape (round instead of oval and much bigger) and all they said to me was that is was because they were made by a different manufacturer. After taking 3 pills three nights in a row, ...

I was taking 50 mg of Metoprolol Sandoz. Walmart changed it to 50 mg Metoprolol. It is not managing my BP.

Recall of metoprolol ## There has been much talk about this lately, and it does appear that it is being recalled from certain manufacturers, and certain doses. Original Discussion Thread: Another related discussion thread: "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. This voluntary recall is being conducted down to the retail level with the knowledge of the FDA. The affected lots were shipped approximately between November 2006 and October 2008. (Sandoz Press Release 11/3/08)" [1] Hope thi...

Metoprolol succinate 25mg made by Mtg. Lannett Company - What fillers are used? I've been having stomach pains and can take up to 6 daily. ## What are the markings on the tablets in question? Can you please post back with this information? The reason I am asking is because sometimes the manufacturer listed on a bottle from your pharmacy is just a licensed distributor, not the actual manufacturer, so I need more information to find the correct details for you. The FDA does warn that Metoprolol may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. What are you taking it to treat? It is very unusual for this medication to be prescribed for anyone to take up to 6 daily, since it is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, and certain ...
