***Correction:
Recently, it came to my attention that I made an error in pronouncing the name of the medication, metoprolol. For those who might not be familiar, metoprolol is a beta-blocker commonly prescribed for managing high blood pressure and heart conditions. The correct pronunciation is "meh-TOE-pro-lol." I want to extend a big thank you to our community for highlighting this, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to correct it.

Summary:
Metoprolol belongs to a drug class called beta blockers. In simple terms, a beta-blocker works by blocking specific chemical signals in your body that regulate or slow down your heart rate. Not only that, but it also makes your blood vessels wider so blood can flow more easily and reduces pressure on your heart. Metoprolol is used to treat different conditions, including high blood pressure and heart problems such as heart failure, irregular heartbeats, and angina or chest pain. However, it's crucial to be aware of the side effects of metoprolol, from a slow heart rate to fatigue, dizziness, depression or mood changes, weird dreams, low blood pressure, cold hands and feet, skin rashes, and shortness of breath. In this informative video, we discuss the side effects of metoprolol, ensuring your safety and effectiveness of the medication, and how to reduce the side effects.

Metoprolol is available in metoprolol tartrate and metoprolol succinate, and the dosages are metoprolol 25mg, 50mg, 100mg, and 200mg.
