Patient summary

Metoprolol 25mg, 50mg and 100mg film-coated tablets, used in the management of hypertension, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. A beta-1 blocker.

Mechanism of action

This medicine acts by blocking specific receptor sites in the heart and blood vessels. By reducing the effect of stress hormones, it slows the heart rate and decreases the force of heart contractions, which helps lower blood pressure and improve blood flow.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy: Use only if clearly necessary after medical assessment. Breastfeeding: Excreted in breast milk; monitor nursing infants for efficacy and safety.

What you will receive

Lopressor is the originator brand name, made by Novartis. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with Novartis and do not ship the original Lopressor.

  • You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Metoprolol) at the same dose, mostly recognised branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
  • The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
  • Inactive ingredients, tablet appearance and packaging can differ from the original brand; the active ingredient and dose are the same.
