Lopressor (active ingredient: metoprolol tartrate) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Lopressor is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
  2. Angina Pectoris: It is indicated for the management of angina pectoris (chest pain) to reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks and improve exercise tolerance.
  3. Heart Failure: Lopressor is used in the treatment of stable, symptomatic (NYHA Class II or III) heart failure of ischemic, hypertensive, or cardiomyopathic origin to reduce cardiovascular mortality and heart failure-related hospitalizations.
  4. Acute Myocardial Infarction: It is also indicated for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) to reduce cardiovascular mortality.

Lopressor belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-blockers, which work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels, thereby slowing the heart rate, reducing blood pressure, and improving heart function.

Lopressor is typically taken orally, either once or twice per day as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully and to take the medication at the same time each day to ensure consistent levels of the drug in the body. As with all medications, it is important to talk to your doctor before using Lopressor to determine if it is safe and appropriate for your specific health needs.

The recommended dosage of Lopressor (metoprolol) for different conditions may vary based on several factors, including your age, medical history, and overall health.

  • The typical dose for early treatment of a heart attack is 50 mg by mouth every 6 hours for 48 hours.
