This may be increased by 100 mg per day at weekly intervals. lf full control is not achieved using a single daily dose, a b.i.d. regimen should be initiated. Combination therapy with a diuretic or other antihypertensive agents may also be considered.

  • Cardiac arrhythmias: Metoprolol 50 mg (one Metoprolol-50 tablet) b.i.d or t.i.d should usually control the condition. It is necessary the dose can be increased up to 300 mg per day in divided doses. Following the treatment of an acute arrhythmia with Metoprolol injection, continuation therapy with Metoprolol tablets should be initiated 4-6 hours later. The initial oral dose should not exceed 50 mg t.i.d.
  • Hyperthyroidism: Metoprolol 50 mg (one Metoprolol-50 tablet) four times a day. The dose should be reduced as the euthyroid state is achieved.
  • Myocardial infarction: Orally, therapy should commence 15 minutes after the last injection with 50 mg every 6 hours for 48 hours. Patients who fail to tolerate the full intravenous dose should be given half the suggested oral dose. Maintenance- The usual maintenance dose is 200 mg daily given in divided doses. Elderly’ There are no special dosage requirements in otherwise healthy elderly patients. Significant hepatic dysfunction: A reduction in dosage may be necessary.
Extended-release tablet-
  • Hypertension: The usual initial dosage is 25 to 100 mg daily in a single dose, whether used alone or added to a diuretic.
  • Angina Pectoris: The dosage of extended-release Metoprolol Succinate should be individualized. The usual initial dosage is 100 mg daily, in a single dose.
  • Heart Failure: The recommended starting dose of sustained-release Metoprolol Succinate is 25 mg once daily for two weeks in patients with NYHA class II heart failure and 12.5 mg once daily in patients with more severe heart failure. The dosage may be increased at weekly (or longer) intervals until optimum blood pressure reduction is achieved. If treatment is to be discontinued, the dosage should be reduced gradually over a period of 1-2 weeks.
IV Injection-
  • Arrhythmias: By intravenous injection, up to 5 mg at a rate of 1-2 mg/minute, repeated after 5 minutes if necessary, total dose 10-15 mg.
  • In surgery: By slow intravenous injection 2-4 mg at induction or to control arrhythmias developing during anaesthesia; 2 mg doses may be repeated to a maximum of 10 mg.
  • Myocardial Infarction: Early intervention within 12 hours of infarction, by intravenous injection 5 mg every 2 minutes to a maximum of 15 mg, followed after 15 minutes by 50 mg by mouth every 6 hours for 48 hours; maintenance 200 mg daily in divided doses.

Effects

Tiredness, dizziness, depression, diarrhea, itching or rash, shortness of breath, slow heart rate, mental confusion, headache, somnolence, nightmares, insomnia, dyspnea, Nausea, dry mouth, gastric pain, constipation, flatulence, digestive tract disorders, heartburn, pruritus, musculoskeletal pain, blurred vision, decreased libido, and tinnitus have also been reported, intensification of AV block.

Indications

ln the management of hypertension and angina pectoris. Cardiac arrhythmias, especially supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. Adjunct to the treatment of hyperthyroidism. Early intervention with Betaone in acute myocardial infarction reduces infarct size and the incidence of ventricular fibrillation. Pain relief may also decrease the need for opiate analgesics. Betaone has been shown to reduce mortality when administered to patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Pharmacology

Metoprolol is a selective beta1-blocker. Metoprolol reduces or inhibits the agonistic effect on the heart of catecholamines (which are released during physical and mental stress). This means that the usual increase in heart rate, cardiac output, cardiac contractility and blood pressure, produced by the acute increase in catecholamines, is reduced by Metoprolol. Metoprolol interferes less with Insulin release and carbohydrate metabolism than do non-selective beta-blockers. Metoprolol interferes much less with the cardiovascular response to hypoglycaemia than do non-selective beta-blockers.

Precautions

Bronchospastic Diseases: Because of its relative beta 1 ‐selectivity, however, Betaone may be used with caution in patients with bronchospastic disease who do not respond to, or cannot tolerate other antihypertensive treatment.

Major Surgery: The necessity or desirability of withdrawing beta‐blocking therapy prior to major surgery is controversial; the impaired ability of the heart to respond to reflex adrenergic stimuli may augment the risks of general anesthesia and surgical procedures.

Diabetes and Hypoglycemia: Beta‐blockers may mask tachycardia occurring with hypoglycemia, but other manifestations such as dizziness and sweating may not be significantly affected. Peripheral Vascular Disease: Beta‐blockers can precipitate or aggravate symptoms of arterial insufficiency in patients with peripheral vascular disease. Calcium Channel Blockers: Because of significant inotropic and chronotropic effects in patients, caution should be exercised in patients treated with these agents concomitantly.
