Metoprolol Tartrate is an antihypertensive medication used alone or with other drugs to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), symptoms of an overactive thyroid, angina (heart-related chest pain), arrhythmia (heart rhythm disorder), and to relieve migraine-related headaches.
Metoprolol Tartrate relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body. It slows down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other heart or kidney problems.
Take Metoprolol Tartrate as prescribed by your doctor. It needs to be taken regularly to be effective. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor, as abrupt cessation may cause heart rhythm changes, chest pain, or a heart attack. Your doctor will advise how to gradually reduce the dose if necessary.
