Safely Buy Toprol XL ( Metoprolol Succinate ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Toprol XL is a beta-blocker medication prescribed to patients with high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), heart failure, and other heart conditions.

Toprol XL is formulated with metoprolol succinate and is administered once daily in an extended-release tablet.

The drug works by reducing the heart rate to ease the amount of work the heart must do and promotes regular heartbeats.

Use and Dosage

Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. This medication may be taken with or without food.

Do not crush or chew extended-release tablets. Doing so can release all the drugs at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split extended-release tablets unless they have a score line, and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing.

To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Do not suddenly stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Your condition may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped.

For the treatment of high blood pressure, it may take several weeks before you get the full benefit of this drug. Keep taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick.
