What is metoprolol?

Metoprolol is an FDA-approved prescription medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), chest pain (angina), and heart failure. It can also be prescribed preventively to lower the risk of heart attack.

Metoprolol belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-blockers and is typically sold under the brand name Lopressor.

How does metoprolol work?

Metoprolol works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart and blood vessels, which are part of the body's response to stress hormones like adrenaline. By doing so, it slows down the heart rate and reduces the force of each heartbeat, decreasing the heart's workload.

This helps lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, and reduce the oxygen demand of the heart. These effects make metoprolol effective for managing conditions like high blood pressure, angina, and heart failure, and for preventing further strain on the heart after a heart attack.

How do I know if I qualify for metoprolol?

To determine if you qualify for metoprolol, you’ll need a healthcare provider's evaluation. They will review your medical history, current health conditions, and symptoms to help determine if metoprolol is appropriate for you. You may qualify if you have:

  • High blood pressure (hypertension): To reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke

  • Angina (chest pain): To decrease the frequency and severity of episodes

  • Heart failure: To improve heart function and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath

  • History of a heart attack: To prevent further cardiac events

  • Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias): To help stabilize your heart rate
