Metapro 50 Tablet
(METOPROLOL TARTRATE)
What happens when you stop taking a beta blocker?
While stopping any beta-blocker may cause a mild response, abruptly stopping propranolol may lead to a withdrawal syndrome. Beta-blocker withdrawal can result in a rise in blood pressure, and in patients with heart disease, chest pain, heart attack, and even sudden death.
What is the difference between Metoprolol Succinate and Metapro?
Metoprolol Succinate is an extended-release form of Metoprolol. This means it is released into your body slowly and only needs to be taken once a day. Metapro, on the other hand, is available as an immediate-release tablet. It doesn’t stay in your body as long as Metoprolol Succinate does. Hence, multiple doses in a day may be required.
What if I forget to take a dose of Metapro?
If you have missed a dose of Metapro, take it as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take it in the regular schedule instead of taking the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.
Is Metapro effective?
Metapro is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Metapro too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Can you switch from Metapro to Metoprolol Succinate?
Yes, in some cases, Metapro may be switched to Metoprolol Succinate. Metoprolol Succinate may be preferred for its once-daily dosing. Consult a doctor to determine your treatment options when switching medications to know what suits you best and to get maximum benefit.
Can I use Metapro in pregnancy?
No, Metapro should not be used in pregnancy. It may be used during pregnancy if the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. Not enough studies have been done to show that these medications are 100% safe during pregnancy. Consult a doctor if you are planning a baby, pregnant or breastfeeding to avoid any harmful effects on the baby.
