Lopressor SR (active ingredient: metoprolol tartrate) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Lopressor SR is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), helping to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
  2. Angina: It is also indicated for the management of angina (chest pain) by reducing the heart’s workload and improving exercise tolerance.
  3. Post-Myocardial Infarction: Lopressor SR may be used to reduce the risk of subsequent heart attacks following a myocardial infarction.

Lopressor SR belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-blockers, which work by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors to decrease heart rate, blood pressure, and myocardial oxygen demand.

Metoprolol Tartrate SR comes in the form Sustained Release Tablet, which is typically taken by mouth once daily, with or without food. The extended-release tablets should be swallowed whole and should not be crushed, chewed, or split. Avoid abrupt discontinuation of the medication, as this can cause rebound hypertension and other adverse effects.

The recommended dosage for Metoprolol Tartrate SR varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. However, the usual dosages for Metoprolol Tartrate IR can range from 100-450 mg per day for hypertension, depending on the individual’s blood pressure and response to treatment. Any questions or concerns about dosages of Metoprolol Tartrate SR should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
