About Metoprolol Tartrate (Generic Lopressor)
How does it work?
Metoprolol Tartrate works by blocking specific receptors in the heart, which slows down the heart rate and reduces the force of its contractions. This helps lower blood pressure and makes the heart's job easier—especially for people with medical conditions like high blood pressure or chest pain (angina).
What does it treat?
Metoprolol Tartrate treats health conditions like high blood pressure. High blood pressure happens when the force of blood against the artery walls is too high. It can also help manage chest pain (angina) and prevent future heart attacks.
What forms does it come in?
This medication comes in the form of tablets that you take by mouth. They’re designed to absorb quickly into the body to help control conditions like high blood pressure or chest pain.
Metoprolol Tartrate vs. Lopressor
Metoprolol Tartrate and Lopressor are the same medication. Lopressor is a brand-name medication, while Metoprolol Tartrate is a generic version. Both contain the same active ingredient and treat conditions like high blood pressure and chest pain (angina) in the same way.
How much will it cost?
Dr. B offers online consultations for $15—which is less than most copays. If a high blood pressure prescription is appropriate, your out-of-pocket medication cost will depend on your insurance and where you decide to get your prescription filled. With a drug discount card, prices for Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg (60 tablets) start at $1.76.

You take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually 1 or more times a day as directed by your licensed medical provider. Follow your health provider’s instructions carefully, and do not crush or chew the tablets—they’re designed to be swallowed whole.
High blood pressure is a long-term (chronic) condition that can harm your organs. Medications for blood pressure are not a one-time cure. This medicine doesn't provide a complete cure for high blood pressure, so it's important to continue taking it, even if you start feeling better. If you stop taking it suddenly, this could cause dangerous problems, like heart attack or stroke. Follow your medical provider's instructions carefully.
What happens if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it’s close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. Don’t take extra medication or double up to make up for it.
What happens if I take too much?
Symptoms of a Metoprolol Tartrate overdose include a very slow heart rate, severe dizziness, severe weakness, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), trouble breathing and fainting.
If you’ve taken too much medication, call your healthcare provider or local poison control center (800-222-1222) right away.
