What Does A Metoprolol Pill Look Like

I had aorta surgery approx two months ago.I was taking 50mg Metoprlol 1xday. My blood pressure readings were really low 89/60. I would feel light-headed when standing. My doctor cut the dose to 25mg 1xday. Still light-headed. Now I am doing 12.501xday. light-headed gone. Now my heart rate is up??? ## Hello, Francesca! How are you? It can be normal to experience a rebound elevated heart rate, when your dosage is lowered, or you stop taking a medication in this class, according to FDA warnings. You may also experience elevated blood pressure. Why hasn't your doctor tried a different medication? There are many others you can try to see if they don't cause you such awful side effects. Many doctors love to prescribe Metoprolol as the first choice, but it doesn't work well for eve...

I am receiving my Metoprolol from a different pharmacy and the pill is different. My old pill had M 18 on it. The new one has 73 C on it. Is it the same medication? Both are 25 mg. ## Yes, you have received the correct medication, this new tablet is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

MY TABLETS WERE PINK, NOW THEY'ER WHITE ## Hello, Yes Metroprolol comes in a variety of apperances, including pink, blue, and white colors. The white ones are probably Torprol XL, branded versions of this drug. Can you post the strength of the pills as well as any imprints which appear on them? That way someone could most likely reply with the exact dosage. Linds ## I have been taking Metoprolol ER 100MG Tab Wat and it is a white round tablet with the number 832 on the back. It was time for a refill and I received a white oval shaped tablet with M on one side and MT2 on the other side. Is this the same? If not what is the difference? ## The tablet with the M MT2 marking contains 50mgs of Metoprolol in an extended release formulation. It has just been manufactured by a different comp...

Looks like it is oval with M on one half then a line and a capital B on the other side. Is this a metoprolol pill? ## Hi Ken, The white oval pill in description marked with the letter M over the letter B (separated by a score line) is in fact 25mg Metoprolol succinate extended release. For verification, the manufacturer is listed as Par Pharmaceutical and the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 49884-825. Additionally, here is a link to the PDF prescribing packet for this specific tablet, straight from the manufacturer's webpage: parpharm.com/products/assets/pdf/Metoprolol-ER.pdf Hope this helps!

You are perfect! I was looking for the diff between Metoprolol Tartrate with C75, or M47.

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...

My husbands metoprolol usually says LEG in the script and is a little round blue pill. When he filled it today it says CAR and is an oblong white pill. Same dosage. Are these the same med? ## Metoprolol is available as a generic, so the markings and the way it looks may differ, depending on which manufacturer made it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. What are the markings on the new ones he received?

I switched pharmacies and the pills look different - it didn't concern me, and research says they are the same thing. However, I FEEL different. My heart starts racing, then returns to normal, and I have tremendous pressure in my head. Pharmacy A uses round white pill w/ M 100 on one side, scored on othe. Pharmacy B is round white with M 3 on it, and a score between the characters, blank on other side. B is the one I am struggling with. Would there be a difference in how I feel? ## Hello, Susan! How are you? Yes, they are both 100mg Metoprolol tables, they're just manufactured by different companies. However, under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, there can be slight differences in the amount of the active ingredient in generics, so this new one may be a little stronger than the on...

I have been taking metoprolol tartrate 50mg for 10 plus years. Recently I have been experiencing cold feet, especially when I lay down. My heart doctor checked my blood flow to my feet and said it was normal. He then suggested the culprit could be the metoprolol tartrate 50 mg that I was taking once daily. Can you recommend a substitute to eliminate this problem? ## Hi Al, Sorry to hear about you getting "cold feet" - no pun intended though Lol. Well I looked into the side effect profile of Metoprolol and found that NIH.gov actually lists "experiencing a paleness or cold feeling in the fingers/toes" as a less common symptom associated with this medication.

My label on my current bottle of Metoprolol says "TAR 25mg tab Myl", while the old bottle's label said "TAR 25mg tab Car." What is the difference between Myl and Car?

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.

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 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 ...

low pulse, irregular heart beat ## I take both Lisinopril (10 mg daily) and Metoprolol (50 mg daily. 1/2 AM & 1/2 PM) These pills look a lot alike and it is possible to get them mixed up if not cautious.

Half incl long oval with 369 on side ## I don't have a picture to post due to copyright reasons, but for anyone still looking, I can confirm that this matches the description of a 50mg extended release Metoprolol tablet, as listed in several prescription drug resources. You can learn more Metoprolol details here. It is a beta blocker that's commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, low blood pressure and stomach pain.

I need to be sure this pill is blood pressure medication... I found it in my purse and I am out of metoprolol tonight (prescription bottle is empty and pharmacy is closed). ## Yes, it is manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals and they do list it as containing 50mgs of Metoprolol. NDC: 00378-0032 The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. In the future, it would be best to pick up a new supply, before running out, because if you don't have any for a few days, it could cause dangerous spikes in your blood pressure and heart rate, which may result in stroke, or heart attack. ## How are Metoprolol tartrate tablets supposed to look? Mine are pink with "M" over "32" on the back.
