I have been taking metropolol 25 mg 2x/day for years. My tablet has been oval shaped with what looks like an "m" then a center score and a script looking "B" under that when the pill is held upright. My latest refill is round with "M 18" and the other side is center scored. Are these the identically same medices? It is so difficult with so many generic medicnes being white tablets. It is scary wondering if you get the same medicines. ## Hello, Diana! How are you? Sorry about the confusion and yes, you're right, it can be quite confusing. But yes, the tablet with the M 18 marking on it does contain 25mgs of Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and some cardiac conditions.

my cardiologist neglected to specify what type of metropolol 50 on my prescription and so the pharmacist gave me metropolol succinate 50. when i returned weeks later for my refill i discovered that he now had changed the pills to metropolol tartarate 50. Is this going to be a problem for me or does it make no difference? ## No, that just designates the specific chemical salt that the drug is derived from, but it actually has not effect on the efficacy of the medication. Both Succinate and Tartrate will work the same and are pretty much interchangeable. Learn more Metoprolol details here. There are rare cases where someone may be sensitive to one or the other and it may not work as well, so you might want to make sure to keep an eye on you blood pressure and heart rate for a few days to ...

why prescribed 2 BP meds. Metoprolol Tartate 12.5mg 2x daily and a 20 mg tab of Lisinopril once a day. Thanks , Joe ## More than one medication is often prescribed, if someone's blood pressure still shows elevation and one medication isn't doing the job by itself. Metoprolol is a beta blocker and the Lisinopril is aACE inhibitor and combining two different hypertension medications like this may result in better lowering and control of blood pressure.

Also taking it with lisinipril
