Overview
What is this medicine?
Metoprolol ER Succinate is a type of medicine called a beta-blocker. It works by slowing down your heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, which helps to lower high blood pressure, reduce chest pain (angina), and improve symptoms of heart failure. The 'ER' means extended-release, so you usually take it once a day.

Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Metoprolol is a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker. It competitively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors, primarily located in the heart, reducing heart rate, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output. This leads to a reduction in blood pressure. It also reduces renin release from the kidneys. At higher doses, it can also block beta-2 adrenergic receptors.

Safety & Warnings
BLACK BOX WARNING
Ischemic Heart Disease: Following abrupt cessation of therapy with certain beta-blocking agents, exacerbations of angina pectoris and, in some cases, myocardial infarction have occurred. When discontinuing chronically administered metoprolol succinate, particularly in patients with ischemic heart disease, the dosage should be gradually reduced over a period of 1 to 2 weeks and the patient should be carefully monitored. If angina markedly worsens or acute coronary insufficiency develops, metoprolol succinate administration should be reinstituted promptly, at least temporarily, and other measures appropriate for the management of unstable angina pectoris should be taken. Patients should be warned against interruption or discontinuation of therapy without the physician's advice. Because coronary artery disease is common and may be unrecognized, it may be prudent not to discontinue metoprolol succinate therapy abruptly even in patients treated only for hypertension.

- Hypotension (very low blood pressure)
- Cardiogenic shock
- Bronchospasm (difficulty breathing)
- Heart failure
- Hypoglycemia
- Cardiac arrest
What to Do:
Seek immediate medical attention or call 911. For poison control, call 1-800-222-1222. Treatment may involve atropine for bradycardia, glucagon, vasopressors, and intravenous fluids.
Drug Interactions
Major Interactions
- Verapamil (increased risk of bradycardia, AV block, hypotension)
- Diltiazem (increased risk of bradycardia, AV block, hypotension)
- Clonidine (risk of rebound hypertension upon clonidine withdrawal if beta-blocker is not tapered first)
- Fingolimod (increased risk of bradycardia)
Moderate Interactions
- CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine, quinidine, propafenone, ritonavir, bupropion, terbinafine, cimetidine) - may increase metoprolol plasma concentrations and enhance effects.
- Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) - may blunt the antihypertensive effect of metoprolol.
- Digitalis glycosides (e.g., digoxin) - increased risk of bradycardia and AV block.
- Other antihypertensives (e.g., ACE inhibitors, ARBs, diuretics) - additive hypotensive effects.
- Insulin and oral hypoglycemics - beta-blockers may mask symptoms of hypoglycemia (e.g., tachycardia) and prolong hypoglycemic episodes.
- Sympathomimetics (e.g., epinephrine, norepinephrine) - may cause paradoxical hypertension and bradycardia.
Minor Interactions
- Alcohol (may increase metoprolol levels slightly)
- Rifampin (may decrease metoprolol levels)
Monitoring
Baseline Monitoring
Blood Pressure (BP)
Rationale: To establish baseline and guide initial dosing.
Timing: Prior to initiation
Heart Rate (HR)
Rationale: To establish baseline and assess for bradycardia.
Timing: Prior to initiation
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Rationale: To assess for pre-existing conduction abnormalities (e.g., AV block).
Timing: Prior to initiation (especially in heart failure patients)
Renal Function (BUN, Creatinine)
Rationale: To assess kidney function, though dose adjustment is generally not needed for renal impairment.
Timing: Prior to initiation
Liver Function Tests (LFTs)
Rationale: To assess hepatic function, as metoprolol is primarily metabolized by the liver.
Timing: Prior to initiation (especially in patients with suspected hepatic impairment)
Routine Monitoring
Blood Pressure (BP)
Frequency: Regularly, e.g., weekly during titration, then monthly or quarterly once stable.
Target: <130/80 mmHg (general target for hypertension, may vary based on comorbidities)
Action Threshold: Systolic >140 mmHg or Diastolic >90 mmHg (consider dose adjustment); Systolic <90 mmHg or symptomatic hypotension (consider dose reduction/discontinuation).
Heart Rate (HR)
Frequency: Regularly, e.g., weekly during titration, then monthly or quarterly once stable.
Target: 50-70 bpm (resting HR, may vary based on indication)
Action Threshold: <50 bpm or symptomatic bradycardia (consider dose reduction/discontinuation).
Symptoms of Heart Failure (e.g., dyspnea, edema, weight gain)
Frequency: Regularly, especially in heart failure patients.
Target: Improvement or stability of symptoms.
Action Threshold: Worsening heart failure symptoms (consider temporary dose reduction or discontinuation, re-evaluate treatment plan).
Glucose levels (in diabetic patients)
Frequency: Regularly, as per diabetes management guidelines.
Target: Individualized
Action Threshold: Frequent or severe hypoglycemic episodes (educate patient on masked symptoms, adjust diabetes regimen if needed).
Symptom Monitoring
- Dizziness
- Lightheadedness
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Swelling in ankles/feet (edema)
- Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
- Cold hands/feet
- Depression
- Insomnia
Special Patient Groups
Pregnancy
Category C. Use during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Metoprolol crosses the placenta. Neonates exposed to beta-blockers in utero may be at risk for bradycardia, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression.
Trimester-Specific Risks:
First Trimester:
Limited data, but generally considered low risk for major malformations.
Second Trimester:
Potential for fetal growth restriction, bradycardia, and hypoglycemia.
Third Trimester:
Increased risk of neonatal bradycardia, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression. Monitor neonate for 24-48 hours after birth.
Lactation
L3 (Moderately Safe). Metoprolol is excreted into breast milk in small amounts. Monitor breastfed infants for signs of beta-blockade (e.g., bradycardia, drowsiness, hypoglycemia). Generally considered compatible with breastfeeding, especially with ER formulation due to lower peak levels.
Infant Risk:
Low risk of adverse effects, but monitor for bradycardia, hypotension, and hypoglycemia.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of metoprolol succinate extended-release in pediatric patients have not been established. Use of immediate-release metoprolol for hypertension in children 6 years and older is established, but ER formulation is generally not recommended.
Geriatric Use
No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. Start with lower doses and titrate slowly, monitoring for adverse effects like bradycardia and hypotension.
Clinical Information
Clinical Pearls
- Metoprolol ER Succinate should be taken once daily, preferably with or immediately following a meal to enhance absorption and reduce variability.
- Do not crush or chew the extended-release tablets; they must be swallowed whole.
- Abrupt discontinuation can lead to rebound hypertension, angina exacerbation, or myocardial infarction, especially in patients with ischemic heart disease. Taper dose gradually over 1-2 weeks.
- While cardioselective at lower doses, metoprolol can lose its beta-1 selectivity at higher doses (e.g., 200mg), potentially affecting beta-2 receptors and causing bronchospasm in susceptible patients (e.g., asthma, COPD).
- Monitor heart rate closely, especially in patients with pre-existing bradycardia or AV block. Avoid in patients with sick sinus syndrome or second/third-degree AV block without a pacemaker.
- Can mask symptoms of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients (e.g., tachycardia, tremors), but sweating may still occur. Use with caution in diabetics.
- Often a preferred beta-blocker for heart failure due to its proven mortality benefit in chronic stable heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV).
Alternative Therapies
- Other Beta-blockers (e.g., Carvedilol, Bisoprolol, Atenolol, Labetalol)
- ACE Inhibitors (e.g., Lisinopril, Ramipril)
- Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) (e.g., Valsartan, Losartan)
- Calcium Channel Blockers (e.g., Amlodipine, Nifedipine, Diltiazem, Verapamil)
- Diuretics (e.g., Hydrochlorothiazide, Furosemide)
- Alpha-1 Blockers (e.g., Prazosin, Terazosin)
- Direct Vasodilators (e.g., Hydralazine, Minoxidil)
