Toprol prescription FAQs
How Does Toprol Work?
Toprol is a beta blocker, which means it works to reduce a person's heart rate. Its specific mechanism works on the muscles of the heart, aiming to reduce cardiac oxygen consumption. It does this by decreasing the heart rate and contractility. This helps to decrease the heart muscles' demand for oxygen, normalizing the balance between supply and demand.
What Are the Associated Dosages and Treatments for Toprol?
Toprol is formulated as an extended release tablet. When switching from immediate release metoprolol to Toprol, make sure to maintain the same dosage. These tablets are scored and can be divided into smaller doses, however they can't be crushed or chewed and must be swallowed as a whole. These are available in 25mg, 50mg, 100mg, and 200mg tablets.
Your doctor will decide which dosage is appropriate for your condition. However, there are certain guidelines that can help you establish what might be the right dosage for your unique condition.
Hypertension: 25mg to 100mg once daily. Doctors may increase the dosage weekly and results may be noticeable after 1 week of treatment. Maximum dosage of 400mg a day.
Angina pectoris: Initial dosage of 100mg. Dosage may be gradually increased weekly to meet optimal clinical response. Maximum dosage of 400mg a day.
Heart failure: 25mg once daily for 2 weeks. More severe cases of heart failure may be prescribed 12.5mg once daily for 2 weeks. This may be doubled every 2 weeks to reach a maximum dosage of 200mg.
What Are the Benefits of Toprol?
The unique properties of medications like Toprol don't only address hypertension. Toprol can also be used to help manage several other conditions.
