Metoprolol is a prescription drug approved to treat conditions related to the heart and blood vessels, such as high blood pressure, angina, and congestive heart failure. It comes as a tablet and is available in immediate-release and extended-release forms. By blocking a specific type of beta receptor, metoprolol can decrease heart rate, blood pressure, and the workload of the heart. While most people tolerate the medication well, potential side effects include diarrhea, shortness of breath, and itching.
