Patient's question:
Currently, the dosage of metoprolol tartrate tablets being taken is 25 mg, which consists of half a 12.5 mg tablet in the morning and half a tablet. Now, the dosage has been reduced to 6.25 mg in the morning and evening for two days. Due to low blood pressure (100/59 mmHg) and heart rate of 68 bpm, I am considering stopping the medication but am unsure if it is safe to do so.Doctor's answer:
Atrial premature beats are premature beats originating from an ectopic pacemaker, the most common type of arrhythmia. It is recommended that you rest, maintain a calm mood at all times, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and consume fewer spicy and irritating foods. Always ensure bowel regularity. Metoprolol tartrate tablets are effective, but you should not stop taking them on your own. Consult a doctor before discontinuing or switching to another medication. The above advice addresses the question, "Can Metoprolol tartrate tablets be stopped?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
