Brand name(s): Lopressor; Toprol XL
What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor. Your blood pressure should be checked regularly to determine your response to metoprolol. Your doctor may ask you to check your pulse (heart rate). Ask your pharmacist or doctor to teach you how to take your pulse. If your pulse is faster or slower than it should be, call your doctor.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.

Anabel, My wife (Rebecca) and I are having a baby, due sometime in December, the doctors haven't made their minds up as yet, there has been quite a few complications. A contributing factor has been Bec's mytral Valve relapse, for which she has recently been prescribed metoprolol. We are somewhat concerned about any affects that may be transfered to the baby through the placenta and again during breast-feeding... Information on metoprolol is very limited at present. do you have any sources you may be able to pass on. Thanks

I just started metoprolol 2 weeks ago and I'm having terrible fluid retention. Does anyone know if this is a normal side effect that will go away? I'm also taking Maxzide, but that doesn't seem to be countering the retention. I haven't had any muscle pain, but have gained 8 lbs in two weeks.

My Cardiologist prescribed Metoprolol as a beta-blocker along with Rythmol to control atrial fibrilation. A nice balance has been found and the purpose is being met. The reduction in blood pressure was a welcome side-effect. Then my Urologist prescribed Terazosin to relax my bladder / prostate. That too works as intended, but my blood pressure has dropped to an alarming level--recently 105/56. My GP and two specialists debate. I wait.
