Tartrate is the generic for Lopressor.
Succinate is the generic for Toprol XL.
Metoprolol tartrate and metoprolol succinate are both forms of the medication metoprolol, but they are not interchangeable. Metoprolol tartrate is an immediate-release formulation, while metoprolol succinate is an extended-release version. This difference affects how they are dosed and how long their effects last in the body. Always consult a healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Metoprolol tartrate and succinate are used for the same purpose, the tartrate being a generic version of Lopressor and succinate being a generic version of Toprol XL.The active chemical is different, however, so it effects may be somewhat different.According to wikipedia.org, "the active substance metoprolol is employed either as metoprolol succinate or metoprolol tartrate (whereas 100 mg metoprolol tartrate corresponds to 95 mg metoprolol succinate), respectively as prolonged-release or conventional-release formulation."I tried both tartrate and succinate, and found a difference in my body reaction. The Tartrate gave me a dry mouth upon awakening in the morning and made my tongue feel a slight tingle. Because I had to take it twice a day, I occasionally forgot to take the second pill. I prefer the Metoprolol Succinate ER. No side effects and conveniently taken once a day. I did experience a difference.
I've researched for hours and hours. Cannot find any metoprolol tartrate witout lactose. I can only find metoprolol succinate (ie. the slow release form of metoprolol) lactose-free as Toprol XL from Astra Zeneca Pty Ltd.
You should take same amount. Effectivity of succinate vs. tartrate is within 90% of each other. Don't change the dose.

Metoprolol ER (extended-release) and metoprolol tartrate (immediate-release) are different formulations of the same medication, and they are not directly interchangeable. Metoprolol ER is designed to be taken once daily, while metoprolol tartrate is typically taken multiple times a day due to its shorter duration of action. If you are considering switching between these formulations, it's important to consult your healthcare provider for proper dosing and to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Metoprolol tartrate is not a time-released formulation; it is an immediate-release medication. It is typically taken multiple times a day to maintain stable blood levels. In contrast, metoprolol succinate is the extended-release version, which is designed to be taken once daily. Always consult a healthcare provider for specific medication advice.
That's fine. I am a pharmacist and I can assure you, there are no interactions between Tylenol and metoprolol.
I'm taking Metoprolol TARTR 25mg, but my blood pressure is 102/62 even before taking the pill. can I take half of the pill so my blood presuure is not that low?
Yes they can take together
No, metoprolol tartrate is not an ACE inhibitor; it is a beta-blocker. It is primarily used to manage high blood pressure and heart-related conditions by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart. ACE inhibitors, on the other hand, work by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
