Lopressor SR (Generic name: Metoprolol Tartrate) is a prescription medication used for treating high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina caused by lack of oxygen in the heart muscle due to clogged arteries). Lopressor SR is also used after an acute heart attack to improve survival. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Metoprolol Tartrate is beta blocker. It works by relaxing and widening the passage of blood in blood vessels, thus reducing the heart’s workload and increasing the volume of blood pumped by of the heart. Take Lopressor SR tablets exactly as it was prescribed for you.
The most common Lopressor SR side effects are abdominal cramps, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, insomnia, nausea, tiredness, and vomiting. If you are experiencing any severe side effects such as anxiety, chest pain, fainting, fever, irregular heartbeat, jaundice, vision changes, or symptoms of an allergic reaction (e.g., difficult breathing; hives; rash; swelling), please inform your doctor immediately.
Do NOT take Lopressor SR oral if you are allergic to Metoprolol Tartrate or other beta blockers. Before taking Lopressor SR, tell your doctor if you have had any medical conditions such as angina (chest pain), asthma, circulation problems, depression, diabetes, heart problems, liver or kidney disease, mental/mood disorders, muscle disease, overactive thyoid disease, and skin conditions.
