Metoprolol succinate is a widely-used beta blocker that can be used both alone or in combination with other medications to help manage a range of heart- and blood pressure-related conditions. The medication slows the rate at which the heart beats and dilates blood vessels, which effectively lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload.

Most patients buy metoprolol succinate to treat:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Angina (chest pain)
• Heart arrhythmia
• Heart failure

This medication only helps manage symptoms; it is not a cure. Treatment is typically long term, even for the remainder of life, unless the underlying cause of the condition is successfully resolved.

Though not officially approved uses by regulatory agencies in most parts of the world, patients also buy metoprolol succinate to manage a variety of other conditions; the medication can be helpful in:

• Reducing the frequency, severity and duration of migraine headaches
• Minimizing mental and physical effects of anxiety
• Alleviating side effects of other medications

Note that this is a maintenance treatment; do not buy metoprolol succinate to replace "rescue" medications, such as fast-acting nitroglycerin for angina or sumatriptan for migraines.

Dosage & Administration

Treatment with this medication will vary to some extent depending on individual variables. It is introduced gradually, starting at lower doses and increased periodically if needed. Patients will need to work with a doctor to achieve optimal results.

Treating heart failure:

• Start with 12.5 to 25 mg per day, for at least two weeks until full effects are known.
• Dosage may be doubled every two weeks, if needed, up to 200 mg per day.

Treating other conditions:

• Start with 25 to 100 mg per day for at least one week, when full effects can be seen.
• If insufficient, dosage may be gradually increased weekly up to 400 mg per day.

It takes a week or two for full effects to be felt, in both initial treatment and dosage modifications. Patients may feel tired and run-down for a few weeks when treatment starts as the body adjusts to lower blood pressure. This effect should wear off eventually.

Note that this medication should not be stopped suddenly; dosage should be gradually reduced over a week or two. Suddenly stopping treatment can produce dangerous side effects.

Before You Buy Metoprolol Succinate

All beta-blockers have properties than put certain individuals at greater risk of experiencing adverse reactions or complications, most notably:

• Beta-blockers may mask symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperthyroidism.
• Beta-blockers are not recommended in patients with chronic breathing ailments, such as asthma or COPD.
• Beta-blockers inhibit the body's response to epinephrine. This can cause issues in those dependent on epinephrine to manage other conditions, as well as reduce effectiveness in emergency use of epi-pens for anaphylactic shock or when administered in severe asthma attacks.
• Patients who have poor circulation are at greater risk of experiencing circulation complications.

Patients to whom the above conditions apply should discuss the risks of metoprolol succinate use carefully with a doctor before initiating treatment; there are many alternative options available which may prove less risky.
