No, it does not.

Betaloc is a trade name for metaprolol tartrate. It is used to treat high blood pressure, migraines and Heart disease. The forumla for metaprolol is C15H25NO3 -- no S for sulfur.

The tartrate group is a common food acid that is just added to increase solubility and has no medical effect. The formula for tartrate is C4H4O6, once again, no S for sulfur.

Most medicines contain only a tiny amount of the active drug, the rest is a relatively inert material, called the excipient, that is mainly there to make the pill big enough to handle without tweezers and a magnifying glass. It is slightly possible that the excipient might contain sulfur but it is unlikely to be more than a tiny trace. The most common excipients are carbohydrates (cellulose and derivatives, starches or sugars), chalk, waxy magnesium stearate, and vegetable oils and waxes. None of these contain sulfur.
