Lopressor


Generic Name: Metoprolol Tartrate Tablets (met-oh-PROE-lol TAR-trate)
Brand Name: Lopressor

Do not suddenly stop taking Lopressor. Sharp chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and sometimes heart attack may occur if you suddenly stop Lopressor. The risk may be greater if you have certain types of heart disease. Your doctor should slowly lower your dose over several weeks if you need to stop taking it. This should be done even if you only take Lopressor for high blood pressure. Heart disease is common and you may not know you have it. Limit physical activity while you are lowering your dose. If new or worsened chest pain or other heart problems occur, contact your doctor right away. You may need to start taking Lopressor again.


Lopressor is used for:

Treating high blood pressure, alone or with other medicines; long-term treatment of chest pain; and reducing the risk of death because of heart problems in patients who have had a heart attack. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Lopressor is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent ("beta blocker"). It works by reducing the amount of work the heart has to do (reduces chest pain) and the amount of blood the heart pumps out (lowers high blood pressure). It is also used to stabilize the heart rhythm in conditions in which the heart is beating too fast or at an irregular rhythm.

Do NOT use Lopressor if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Lopressor
  • you have a very slow heart rate condition (eg, bradycardia, AV block); heart failure controlled by diuretics (eg, furosemide) and digoxin; or very low systolic blood pressure (less than 100 mm Hg)
  • you are taking mibefradil

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Lopressor:

Some medical conditions may interact with Lopressor. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
  • if you have tumors on your adrenal gland, have an overactive thyroid, or are scheduled to have surgery
  • if you have or have a history of liver, heart, or blood circulation problems
  • if you have diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, bronchospastic disease (difficulty breathing), or a history of asthma

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Lopressor. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

  • Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), indomethacin, or phenylpropanolamine because they may decrease Lopressor"s effectiveness
  • Amiodarone, cimetidine, disopyramide, flecainide, hydralazine, ketanserin, mefloquine, quinazolines (eg, imatinib), quinidine, birth control pills, thioamines (eg, propylthiouracil), or verapamil because serious side effects such as very slow heart rate and very low blood pressure may occur
  • Bupivacaine, disopyramide, flecainide, hydralazine, ketanserin, or lidocaine because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Lopressor
  • Clonidine because stopping either of these medicines suddenly can lead to a rapid increase in blood pressure

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Lopressor may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
