Metoprolol (metoprolol) is a widely used prescription medication in the United States. It belongs to a class of medicines called beta blockers and is available in two main forms: metoprolol tartrate (an immediate‑release tablet often taken twice daily) and metoprolol succinate (an extended‑release tablet typically taken once daily). Common strengths include 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg. In US clinical practice, metoprolol is prescribed to lower blood pressure, reduce chest pain from angina, improve survival and reduce arrhythmias after a heart attack, and, in its extended‑release form, help manage heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

In the USA, generic metoprolol is broadly available and covered by most insurance plans, Medicare Part D formularies, and many pharmacy discount programs. Branded versions also exist, but most patients use generic formulations due to their excellent therapeutic equivalence and affordability. If you do not have a current prescription, many US online clinics and telehealth services can arrange a same‑day consultation with a licensed clinician who can determine if metoprolol is appropriate for you and send a prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.

Metoprolol cost in the USA

Metoprolol is one of the most affordable prescription cardiovascular medications in the United States. Out‑of‑pocket costs vary based on formulation (tartrate vs. succinate), strength, quantity, insurance coverage, and the pharmacy you choose. Generics are typically much less expensive than brand‑name products. While prices change frequently and differ by location, the following examples illustrate common US retail scenarios:

- Metoprolol tartrate (IR) 25 mg, 60 tablets: discount cash pricing at many US pharmacies can range from approximately $4 to $15, depending on the pharmacy and available coupons.
- Metoprolol tartrate (IR) 50 mg, 60 tablets: often seen in the $5 to $20 range under common savings programs.
- Metoprolol succinate (ER) 50 mg, 30 tablets: typical pay‑cash prices may range from about $8 to $35 with discounts, though brand prices can be higher.
- 90‑day mail‑order supplies through insurance can further reduce per‑tablet costs.

These figures are illustrative only. Your actual cost may be higher or lower. Check with your local US pharmacy, use a pharmacy price comparison tool, or ask your insurer about copays and preferred pharmacies. Many Americans save by using pharmacy discount cards or manufacturer‑sponsored savings options where applicable.

Where can I buy Metoprolol in the USA?

If you live in the United States, you can fill a Metoprolol prescription at any licensed retail pharmacy, through your health plan’s preferred mail‑order service, or via a legitimate online pharmacy that dispenses in the USA. Because metoprolol is prescription‑only in the US, you will need a valid prescription issued by a US‑licensed provider. If you do not have one, you can schedule a quick telehealth visit to review your blood pressure, heart rate, medical history, and current medications. If appropriate, the clinician can e‑prescribe metoprolol to a US pharmacy for pickup or delivery.

Our partner pharmacy platform supports US‑based fulfillment and offers transparent pricing, clear medication information, and discreet delivery options. Patients who prefer home delivery, 90‑day supplies, or automatic refills can typically set those up after their prescription is received. Always ensure the pharmacy you use is licensed in the United States and follows federal and state regulations.

For those transitioning care or changing pharmacies, transferring a prescription within the USA is usually straightforward—simply ask the new pharmacy to request your metoprolol prescription transfer from your previous pharmacy.

Metoprolol in the United States

Getting Metoprolol in the USA is simple when you follow the appropriate steps. If you already have a prescription, place your order online and select your dosage, tablet count, and delivery method. If you need a new prescription, complete a telehealth intake, schedule a brief video or phone consultation, and, if prescribed, your medication will be sent to a US pharmacy for dispensing.

What is metoprolol?

Metoprolol is a cardioselective beta‑1 adrenergic receptor blocker. By reducing the effects of adrenaline on the heart, it slows heart rate, decreases the force of contraction, and lowers blood pressure. In the US, metoprolol is FDA‑approved for multiple indications and is available in two formulations:

- Metoprolol tartrate (immediate‑release, often taken two or more times daily).
- Metoprolol succinate (extended‑release, once‑daily dosing; FDA‑approved for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction).

Clinicians prescribe metoprolol to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), relieve chest pain due to coronary artery disease (angina), improve survival after a myocardial infarction (heart attack), control certain tachyarrhythmias, and, in its extended‑release form, to reduce heart failure hospitalizations and improve symptoms in patients with HFrEF.

Metoprolol for hypertension (high blood pressure)

In the USA, beta blockers like metoprolol are frequently used to manage blood pressure, especially in patients with compelling indications such as coronary artery disease, prior myocardial infarction, angina, or certain arrhythmias. According to US guidelines, thiazide diuretics, ACE inhibitors/ARBs, and calcium channel blockers are generally first‑line agents for uncomplicated hypertension; however, metoprolol is often appropriate when comorbidities exist or when other therapies are not sufficient or well tolerated. By reducing heart rate and cardiac workload, metoprolol helps lower systolic and diastolic pressure and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Home blood pressure monitoring is recommended in the USA to help you and your healthcare provider tailor the dose. Lifestyle measures—such as reducing sodium intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, limiting alcohol, and quitting smoking—complement medication therapy and can meaningfully improve outcomes.

Metoprolol for angina and after a heart attack

Metoprolol reduces the heart’s oxygen demand by slowing heart rate and contractility. In patients with chronic stable angina, this can translate into fewer episodes of chest discomfort and better exercise tolerance. Following a heart attack, metoprolol may improve survival and reduce the risk of arrhythmias and recurrent ischemia when used as directed by your cardiology team. Your provider will choose the most appropriate formulation—short‑acting tartrate for flexible titration or extended‑release succinate for once‑daily convenience—based on your clinical status.

Metoprolol for heart failure (HFrEF)

Extended‑release metoprolol succinate is FDA‑approved in the USA for the management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. When initiated at low doses and slowly titrated, it can improve symptoms, reduce hospitalizations, and contribute to long‑term survival as part of guideline‑directed medical therapy. It is often combined with an ACE inhibitor/ARB/ARNI, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, SGLT2 inhibitor, and diuretics when needed. Adults starting metoprolol for heart failure should be carefully monitored for blood pressure, heart rate, fluid status, and overall tolerability.

Metoprolol tartrate vs. metoprolol succinate

While both formulations contain the same active drug, they differ in release characteristics and FDA‑approved uses:

- Metoprolol tartrate (IR): immediate‑release tablet, commonly dosed twice daily; frequently used for hypertension, angina, and rate control in certain tachyarrhythmias. Not specifically approved for heart failure in the US.
- Metoprolol succinate (ER): extended‑release tablet designed for once‑daily dosing; indicated for hypertension, angina, and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Do not crush or chew extended‑release tablets, as that can alter the release profile and increase side effects. If you are switching formulations (tartrate to succinate or vice versa), your clinician will provide an equivalent total daily dose and updated administration instructions.

How metoprolol works

Metoprolol selectively blocks beta‑1 receptors in the heart at typical therapeutic doses, leading to decreased heart rate and contractility. While it is considered “cardioselective,” higher doses can also affect beta‑2 receptors in the lungs and peripheral vasculature. By modulating sympathetic activity, metoprolol reduces blood pressure, improves angina symptoms, and helps stabilize cardiac rhythm in select scenarios.

US dosing guidance for Metoprolol

Only take metoprolol as prescribed by your US healthcare provider. The following examples reflect commonly used adult dosing in the United States—your clinician may adjust based on response, heart rate, blood pressure, kidney/liver function, and comorbidities.

Hypertension

- Metoprolol tartrate (IR): 25–50 mg twice daily; titrate at weekly intervals up to 100–200 mg/day in divided doses.
- Metoprolol succinate (ER): 25–100 mg once daily; may titrate to 200 mg once daily as needed and tolerated.

Angina

- Metoprolol tartrate (IR): 50 mg twice daily; titrate based on symptom control and heart rate.
- Metoprolol succinate (ER): 100 mg once daily; adjust to clinical response (typical range 100–200 mg once daily).

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (ER only)

- Start with metoprolol succinate (ER) 12.5–25 mg once daily; double the dose every 2 weeks as tolerated to a target of 200 mg once daily. Monitor for bradycardia, hypotension, and fluid retention.

Post‑MI (myocardial infarction)

- Oral metoprolol tartrate often begins at 25–50 mg every 6–12 hours and may be transitioned to longer‑term dosing once stable. Your cardiologist will determine the most appropriate regimen.

Arrhythmias and rate control

- Dosing varies widely. Providers often start low and titrate to achieve target heart rate and symptom relief, considering concomitant therapies such as calcium channel blockers or digoxin.

How to take Metoprolol safely

- Take extended‑release metoprolol succinate once daily at the same time each day; swallow whole. Do not crush, split (unless scored and advised), or chew ER tablets.
- Immediate‑release metoprolol tartrate is commonly taken twice daily. Your provider will advise whether to take with or without food; taking with food can improve absorption consistency for some patients.
- Do not abruptly stop metoprolol. Sudden discontinuation can worsen angina, trigger heart rhythm disturbances, or raise blood pressure. If your provider decides to stop metoprolol, they will taper the dose gradually.
- Monitor your home blood pressure and heart rate regularly, especially during dose changes. Report resting heart rates consistently below 50–55 bpm, symptomatic dizziness, or fainting.

Missed dose and overdose

- Missed dose: Take it as soon as you remember unless it’s close to your next dose. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose—do not double up.
- Overdose: Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Signs may include severe dizziness or fainting, very slow heart rate, difficulty breathing, confusion, bluish lips or fingertips, and seizures. You may also contact Poison Control in the USA at 1‑800‑222‑1222.

Side effects of metoprolol

Most people tolerate Metoprolol well, especially when the dose is slowly titrated. As with any prescription medicine, side effects can occur. Many are mild and improve as your body adjusts.

Common side effects

• Fatigue, tiredness, or reduced exercise tolerance
• Dizziness or lightheadedness (especially when standing up quickly)
• Bradycardia (slower heart rate)
• Cold hands and feet
• Gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea
• Sleep changes or vivid dreams (less common with ER formulations)
• Mild depression or mood changes in some individuals

Less common but important

• Shortness of breath or wheezing (risk higher in those with asthma/COPD)
• Worsening heart failure symptoms (e.g., swelling, rapid weight gain); contact your clinician immediately
• Significant drop in heart rate or blood pressure
• Raynaud’s phenomenon (exaggerated cold sensitivity)

Seek urgent medical care if you experience chest pain that does not resolve, severe shortness of breath, fainting, or signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling of face/lips/tongue, difficulty breathing).

Drug interactions

Always provide your US healthcare provider and pharmacist with a complete list of medications and supplements. Key interactions with Metoprolol include:

• CYP2D6 inhibitors that raise metoprolol levels: paroxetine, fluoxetine, bupropion, quinidine, terbinafine. Dose adjustments or alternative antidepressants may be considered.
• Other agents that lower heart rate or AV conduction: diltiazem, verapamil, digoxin, amiodarone, certain antiarrhythmics—combination may increase bradycardia or heart block risk.
• Clonidine: abrupt withdrawal while on a beta blocker can cause rebound hypertension—coordinate any changes with your clinician.
• NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen): may reduce antihypertensive effect when used chronically; use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration.
• Rifampin: can reduce metoprolol levels and effectiveness.
• Alcohol: may enhance hypotensive effects, and with some extended‑release formulations, can impact drug release.
• Sympathomimetics (e.g., some decongestants): may counteract blood pressure control; ask your pharmacist before using OTC cold/flu products.

This list is not exhaustive. Your US pharmacist can screen for interactions based on your full profile.

Who should not take metoprolol?

Do not use Metoprolol if you have severe bradycardia, second‑ or third‑degree heart block (unless you have a functioning pacemaker), cardiogenic shock, decompensated heart failure requiring inotropes, or a known hypersensitivity to metoprolol or other beta blockers. Use caution and consult your clinician if you have:

• Asthma or COPD with bronchospasm (monitor respiratory symptoms closely)
• Diabetes (beta blockers can mask signs of low blood sugar)
• Peripheral vascular disease
• Thyroid disorders (may mask hyperthyroidism symptoms)
• Liver impairment

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Metoprolol has been used during pregnancy when benefits outweigh risks. Decisions are individualized based on maternal condition. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the USA, discuss risks and alternatives with your obstetrician or cardiologist. Metoprolol is present in breast milk in small amounts; most reports suggest low risk to infants at usual doses, but monitor for unusual sleepiness or feeding issues. Always consult your pediatrician or lactation specialist.

Monitoring and follow‑up in the US

When starting or adjusting Metoprolol, your healthcare team will typically monitor:

• Blood pressure and resting heart rate
• Symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, or shortness of breath
• Heart failure signs (in ER/succinate use): swelling, weight, exercise tolerance
• ECG if indicated (arrhythmias, conduction issues)

Bring home blood pressure and heart rate logs to appointments. Many US clinics offer remote patient monitoring or welcome readings via patient portals.

Storage and handling

Store metoprolol tablets at room temperature (generally 68–77°F/20–25°C), away from excess heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep in the original container with the pharmacy label. Do not use past the expiration date. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If you have unused or expired medication, ask a US pharmacist about take‑back programs or follow FDA guidance for safe disposal.

Frequently asked questions about Metoprolol

Is metoprolol available over the counter in the USA?

No. In the United States, metoprolol is prescription‑only. A US‑licensed clinician must evaluate whether it is appropriate for you and provide an e‑prescription if indicated.

Which is better: metoprolol tartrate or succinate?

Neither is universally “better”—they are used for different purposes. Metoprolol succinate is extended‑release and FDA‑approved for heart failure; metoprolol tartrate is immediate‑release and often used for flexible dose adjustments in hypertension, angina, and certain arrhythmias. Your provider will select the formulation that best matches your condition and dosing preferences.

Can I drink coffee or alcohol while taking metoprolol?

Moderate caffeine intake is usually acceptable, but high caffeine can counteract heart rate control. Alcohol may increase dizziness or blood pressure lowering; avoid heavy drinking. With some extended‑release tablets, alcohol can affect drug release—ask your pharmacist if this applies to your product.

Can metoprolol cause weight gain?

Some people report modest weight changes, but significant weight gain is uncommon and may reflect fluid retention or lifestyle factors. If you notice rapid weight gain, especially with swelling or shortness of breath, contact your clinician promptly.

What if my heart rate becomes too low?

Let your provider know if your resting heart rate consistently falls below your individualized target (often 50–55 bpm) or you develop symptoms like lightheadedness or fainting. Your dose may need adjustment.

Insurance, refills, and US pharmacy tips

- Insurance coverage: Most US plans cover generic metoprolol with low copays. Check your plan’s formulary for any step therapy or quantity limits.
