What Does A Metoprolol 100 Mg Pill Look Like

Does this drug loose its effectiveness if it is split in half like 90 days before taking it? Also will taking tums (2 - 750 mg tablets) with this drug reduce its effectiveness? ## This is a time released formulation of Metoprolol, so it needs to be taken whole, the tablets should not be cut or broken, because that could cause you to get too much of the medication, at once. If you have a tablet that's been cut or broken, you should discard it. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. And yes, Tums will reduce it's efficacy, so if you need an antacid you should look for an alternative. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi Mom... I also take 100mg of Metoprolol ER. If y...

I have cirrhosis as well as type 2 diabetes and a blood ammonia level of 151. my doctor prescribed these as a way to get the ammonia level down and use less lactulose. is this correct. I also noticed I feel like I can sleep all day and my abdomen feels bloated. I am also on clonidine 0.1 and propranolol 20 mg for high bp but everytime it is checked it is between 105-115 over 70-80 I also take 2 other dieruetics, furosemide40 once a day and spironolact 100mg once a day. I look forward to hearing if this is all the right mix for getting the ammonia level down ## Hi, Scarab! Sorry about your health problems and this current ammonia issue. Were you still taking the diuretics at the time the test was done? Furosemide is specifically listed as being one that can raise blood ammonia levels and...

I take a pill twice a day. Is each pill 50 mg, or combined they equal 50mg? ## Hi Connie, What is the imprint on the pills that you take? There are 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg pills available. Based on your description I can only assume that they are 50mg, but would need to look up the imprint for verification. If you are taking this medication for high blood pressure, the usual dosage for metoprolol is extremely patient specific and should be individualized. The typical initial dosage of metoprolol is 100 mg daily in a single or divided dose as determined by your health care provider. The dose may then be increased weekly until the goal blood pressure is achieved. The dosage range for metoprolol is 100-450 mg per day. You should consult with your doctor to determine which dose of metoprolol ...

white color oval tablet could be divided in 2 parts. ## I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you looking for a conformation of what they are? There is no 95mg Metoprolol tablet that I am aware of being available anywhere. Learn more Metoprolol details here. The closest would actually be 100mg tablets. Are there any markings on them?

On Oct 16th 2016 I got my normal Metformin 90 day supply. I was feeling (over the next 2 months) like an elephant was on my chest & couldn't walk more than 15-to 20 ft without feeling as though I was going to black out. On Dec. 30th eve I noticed my dose was scored, not Metformin. That's when I caught it! Never had High Blood Pressure & am 54. I normally fill 2 weeks at a time (pill containers) & nightly a week. I take 2 in the a.m. & 2 at night. So they were mixed in & not knowing what or how many - all unknown. But when I caught it, it was 2 Metoprolol 100 ER! So looking at the rest of that week & 2 nights, 2 to 3 out of 4 mornings, I had 1 with Metformin. The next a.m dose #31 I almost took 2 more Metoprolol 100 mg Er! I am totally disgusted! I have no...

What should I do? I took 2 metoprolol 50mg but my dose is 1. My other meds are white and looked alike. ## It is always best to check with your doctor to be sure. Did you experience any adverse events? In most cases, doubling up just once isn't a huge problem, according to the FDA, but you may experience lower blood pressure and heart rate than usual, as well as nausea and dizziness. ## I missed my dose at 11pm but took it at 2am. Can i still take my metoprolol tartrate 25mg dose at 11 tonight? ## I've been taking Metoprolol 100 mg 1x daily and just found out that my pharmacy gave me 50mg pills which I've been taking 1x a day and only recently realized the mistake. What will happen when I start back on 100 mg tomorrow?

1/2 of a white oblong pill one side shows AP the other side show 16. What could that pill be? ## Hi Jackie, I noticed in your title you described the pill as being white & oblong with an imprint of 167, while in the comment box you put white & oblong with AP 16. Are you looking for two different pills here? I was actually able to find a match for a white oblong pill marked with 167 to be Metoprolol tartrate (100 mg); used in the treatment of several diseases of the cardiovascular system, especially hypertension.
