Metoprolol
High blood pressure treatment
Metoprolol tartrate (generic Lopressor) is a type of medicine known as a beta blocker. It is is used to treat high blood pressure, angina pectoris (chest pain, usually caused by lack of oxygen to the heart due to clogged arteries), and heart attack. When prescribed for hypertension, it is effective when used alone or in combination with other high blood pressure medications. Beta blockers decrease the force and rate of heart contractions, thereby reducing the demand for oxygen and lowering blood pressure. Occasionally doctors prescribe Metoprolol for the treatment of aggressive behavior, prevention of migraine headache, and relief of temporary anxiety. An extended-release form of this drug, called Toprol-XL, is prescribed for high blood pressure, angina, and heart failure.
