Two days ago I started cutting the night pill in half because I noticed some swelling, heaviness in the legs and muscle pain in legs and arms. Result is my energy and focuses back and reduced sweat. I Cut the 'Day Pill' in half about ten days ago. Increase in activity caused increased sweat. Then I became tired and experienced a loss of focus, not good when you work from home. By 4-5th day exhausted/weak from just grocery shopping. First couple of days loved effects, low BP and felt so calm. After allergic reaction was controlled, doctor prescribed 'metoprolol tartrate' 25MG - 2x a day. I developed a severe skin reaction that required me to stop Rx get steroid shot and two Rx's for ten days, to control toxic reaction. Pharmacy filled with white round (same MG) but new manufacturer. Then white oval ones from old manufacturer not available at any local pharmacies. Was on Captopril 50mg, 2x a day for HB for 9 years and very happy. Most medications have these 2 options and then some because every patient varies with how they can take medication and it's helpful when dosing to know there are options. With the extended release, the drug will stay slowly release over a longer period, so the patient probably wouldn't have to take more than one or two pills per day. Shorter half life means taking more of the medication sooner than if it were an extended release. *This is due to metoprolol's short half life, which means the drug will be excreted from the body quickly since it's released immediately, and half life determines when to dose the drug once it's gone from the body. The only other difference I would be able to think of is that M.Tartrate, being an immediate release, would most likely require the patient to take additional pills throughout the day. M.Succinate is an extended-release medication and M.Tartrate is an immediate-release medication. Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XR) and Metoprolol Tartrate(lopressor) are 2 different dosage forms (forms of the medication). Metoprolol is the active ingredient being used to treat the condition.
