Dosing Guidelines
Metoprolol XL is typically prescribed in dosage strengths ranging from 25 mg to 100 mg, depending on the patient’s condition and response to treatment. The usual starting dose for hypertension is 25-100 mg once daily, which may be increased after a few weeks based on blood pressure monitoring. For angina pectoris, the starting dose is usually 100 mg once daily. In some cases, the dosage may be adjusted as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare professional to ensure the medication’s effectiveness and safety.
Important Dosage Considerations
It is crucial to take Metoprolol XL exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not alter the dosage or stop taking the medication without consulting your healthcare provider. Skipping doses or taking too much Metoprolol XL can lead to adverse effects and complications. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but if it is close to the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not double up on doses to make up for a missed one.
