    Glossary Metoprolol

    beta-blocker medication used to treat high blood pressure

    Metoprolol is a beta-blocker medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and heart failure. It works by slowing down the heart rate and reducing the heart's workload, which helps to lower blood pressure and prevent heart attacks. Metoprolol is available in different forms, including metoprolol tartrate (short-acting) and metoprolol succinate (extended-release), and is often marketed under brand names like Lopressor and Toprol XL.
