Metoprolol Tartrate


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

Do not suddenly stop taking Metoprolol Tartrate . Sharp chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and sometimes heart attack may occur if you suddenly stop Metoprolol Tartrate . 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 Metoprolol Tartrate 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 Metoprolol Tartrate again.


Metoprolol Tartrate 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.

Metoprolol Tartrate 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 Metoprolol Tartrate if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Metoprolol Tartrate
  • 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.
