brand name: Lopressor
generic names: Metoprolol tartrate, Metoprolol, Metoprolol Tartrate
Metoprolol Tartrate is used for: Treating high blood pressure, alone or with other medicines; long-term treatment of chest pain; and reducing the risk of death because of heart problems in patients who have had a heart attack. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. Metoprolol Tartrate is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent ("beta-blocker"). It works by reducing the amount of work the heart has to do (reduces chest pain) and the amount of blood the heart pumps out (lowers high blood pressure). It is also used to stabilize the heart rhythm in conditions in which the heart is beating too fast or at an irregular rhythm.
Why is Lopressor prescribed? Lopressor, usually caused by lack of oxygen to the heart due to clogged arteries), angina pectoris (chest pain, is used in the treatment of high blood pressure, a type of medication known as a beta blocker, and heart attack. When prescribed for high blood pressure, it is effective when used alone or in combination with other high blood pressure medications. Beta blockers decrease the force and rate of heart contractions, thereby reducing the demand for oxygen and lowering blood pressure. Occasionally doctors prescribe Lopressor for the treatment of aggressive behavior, prevention of migraine headache, and relief of temporary anxiety. An extended-release form of this drug, angina, is prescribed for high blood pressure, called Toprol-XL, and heart failure.
