Angina pectoris. Prevention of MI and decreased mortality in patients with recent MI. Management of stable, symptomatic (class II or III) heart failure due to ischemic, hypertensive or cardiomyopathc origin (may be used with ACE inhibitors, diuretics and/or digoxin; Toprol XL only). Unlabeled Use: Ventricular arrhythmias/tachycardia. Migraine prophylaxis. Tremors. Aggressive behavior. Druginduced akathisia. Anxiety. Action Blocks stimulation of beta1(myocardial)-adrenergic receptors. Does not usually affect beta2(pulmonary, vascular, uterine)-adrenergic receptor sites. Therapeutic Effects: Decreased BP and heart rate. Decreased frequency of attacks of angina pectoris. Decreased rate of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization in patients with heart failure. Pharmacokinetics Absorption: Well absorbed after oral administration. Distribution: Crosses the blood-brain barrier, crosses the placenta; small amounts enter breast milk. Metabolism and Excretion: Mostly metabolized by the liver (primarily by CYP2D6; the CYP2D6 enzyme system exhibits genetic polymorphism); ⬃7% of population may be poor metabolizers and may have significantlyqmetoprolol concentrations and anqrisk of adverse effects).

Route/Dosage When switching from immediate-release to extended-release product, the same total daily dose can be used PO (Adults): Antihypertensive/antianginal— 25– 100 mg/day as a single dose initially or 2 divided doses; may beqq 7 days as needed up to 450 mg/day (immediate-release) or 400 mg/day (extended-release) (for angina, give in divided doses). Extended-release products are given once daily. MI— 25– 50 mg (starting 15 min after last IV dose) q 6 hr for 48 hr, then 100 mg twice daily. Heart failure— 12.5– 25 mg once daily (of extended-release), can be doubled every 2 wk up to 200 mg/ day. Migraine prevention— 50– 100 mg 2– 4 times daily (unlabeled). IV (Adults): MI— 5 mg q 2 min for 3 doses, followed by oral dosing. NURSING IMPLICATIONS Assessment ● Monitor BP, ECG, and pulse frequently during dose adjustment and peri● ● ● ● ● odically during therapy. Monitor frequency of prescription refills to determine compliance. Monitor vital signs and ECG every 5– 15 min during and for several hours after parenteral administration. If heart rate ⬍40 bpm, especially if cardiac output is also decreased, administer atropine 0.25– 0.5 mg IV. Monitor intake and output ratios and daily weights. Assess routinely for signs and symptoms of HF (dyspnea, rales/crackles, weight gain, peripheral edema, jugular venous distention). Angina: Assess frequency and characteristics of anginal attacks periodically during therapy. Lab Test Considerations: May causeqBUN, serum lipoprotein, potassium, triglyceride, and uric acid levels.

High Alert: Do not confuse Toprol-XL (metoprolol) with Topamax (topiramate). Do not confuse Lopressor with Lyrica. Do not confuse metoprolol tartrate with metoprolol succinate. PO: Take apical pulse before administering. If ⬍50 bpm or if arrhythmia occurs, withhold medication and notify health care professional. Administer metoprolol with meals or directly after eating. Extended-release tablets should be swallowed whole; do not break, crush, or chew. IV Administration ● Direct IV: Diluent: Administer undiluted. Concentration: 1 mg/mL.
