Frequently asked questions
What is Met XL 25 used for?
Met XL 25 contains metoprolol succinate 25 mg in an extended-release tablet. It is used for high blood pressure, angina, irregular heartbeat, protecting the heart after a heart attack and in heart failure, and sometimes to prevent migraine.
Met XL 25 vs Met XL 50 – what is the difference?
Both are extended-release metoprolol succinate; only the strength differs. Doctors usually start with 25 mg and increase to 50 mg or more if blood pressure or heart rate is not controlled. Do not change strength on your own.
Can I take Met XL 25 with alcohol?
It is best to limit alcohol. Both alcohol and metoprolol lower blood pressure, so together they can make you dizzy or faint, especially when standing up.
Should Met XL 25 be taken in the morning or at night?
Usually once a day at the same time, most often in the morning. If it makes you dizzy, your doctor may suggest taking the first doses at bedtime. Stick to whatever time you choose.
