Used for Hypertension, Heart Failure, Angina
Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) is used to treat hypertension and to control chronic (long-term) chest pain. It's also used to lower the risk for hospitalization and death in people with heart failure. Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) is the extended-release version of metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor), but keep in mind the two versions don't treat the exact same conditions. And because metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) is longer-acting, it's taken by mouth typically taken just once daily. Some common side effects of metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) include tiredness or dizziness.

How Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) works
Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) is a beta blocker. More specifically, it's a selective beta blocker, meaning it works mainly on your heart. It slows down your heart rate. This makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body and helps lower blood pressure. It also allows your heart to use less oxygen, which can help with chest pain.

A first-choice option for heart failure
Only needs to be taken once a day
Available as capsules (Kapspargo) that can be opened and sprinkled on soft foods, good for people who've trouble swallowing pills

Pharmacist tips for Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL)
You should take metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) right after meals. This can help lower your risk of side effects, such as dizziness.
Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) can cause dizziness, which could lead to falls. Make sure to sit or lie down if you feel dizzy to prevent accidental injuries.
Check your blood pressure regularly after starting metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL). Tell your provider if it hasn't improved after a week because they might need to adjust your dose of this medication.
Swallow the metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) tablets or Kapspargo capsules whole. Don't chew or crush them. If your provider halves your dose, only the tablets can be split in half using a pill cutter.
If needed, you can open the Kapspargo capsules and sprinkle the contents inside on a small amount (about a teaspoonful) of soft foods, such as applesauce, pudding, or yogurt. Swallow the mixture within an hour; don't let it sit for longer than that. If you have a nasogastric (NG) feeding tube, you or your caregiver can also mix the capsule contents with water (15 mL) in an oral syringe and slowly push the mixture into your tube. Ask your provider or pharmacist for more instructions.
Try not to drink alcohol with metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL). Beta blockers like metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) can make you more drowsy and dizzy, and alcohol can make this even worse. If you drink alcohol regularly and it's difficult to stop completely, talk with your provider about what's a safer amount to drink.
If you have diabetes, be careful taking metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL), since this medication can hide symptoms of low blood sugar, except for sweating and dizziness.
Don't stop taking this medication suddenly unless your provider tells you to. Stopping metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) all of a sudden cause your blood pressure to go up, which can raise the risk of heart attack and stroke. If you want to stop this medication, your provider can lower your dose slowly over time.

Frequently asked questions about Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL)
How long does it take for metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) to work?
expand_more
Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) can start to work within 1 hour of taking the medication. But you might not see the full effects of metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) until about a week or so after you start. Your provider will probably ask you to check your blood pressure and heart rate regularly to see how well this medication is working. Keep in mind that your provider might need to adjust your dose over time, so it can take a few weeks before your provider and you to find a dose of metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) that works for you.
How long does metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) last?
expand_more
The effects of metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) on your blood pressure and heart rate will typically last up to 24 hours. It's important to take this medication daily as prescribed by your provider in order to experience the full benefits of this medication.
When should I take metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL)?
expand_more
It doesn't matter when you take metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) as long as you try to take it around the same time each day. Keep in mind that you need to take this medication with food, so it might be best to take it at a meal time. If you're just starting metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL), you might consider taking your dose at a time when you know you'll get a chance to sit or lie down, just in case it makes you feel dizzy. If you don't notice any dizziness after a few doses, you can take this medication at a different time of the day, such as the morning, if you like.
What's the difference between metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor) and metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL)?
expand_more
Metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor) and metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) are two different forms of metoprolol. They work in very similar ways, but there are some differences between them. (1) One difference is how many times a day you take each medication. Metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor) is an immediate-release tablet (faster-acting) that's typically taken twice daily. On the other hand, metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) is an extended-release tablet (longer-acting) that's typically taken just once a day. (2) Another difference is what conditions they're approved to treat. Both metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor) and metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) are used to lower blood pressure and ease chest pain. But only metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor) can help lower the risk of death after a heart attack, while metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) can lower the risk of death and hospitalization in people with heart failure.
Can I take metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor) and metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) at the same time?
expand_more
It isn’t typical for someone to take both metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor) and metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) at the same time. These medications work in very similar ways and taking them together can raise your of risk side effects, such as dizziness or very low blood pressure. Check in with your provider if you think they've prescribed you both versions of metoprolol to take at the same time. It might be possible that your provider is switching you from one form to the other, depending on your preference for taking pills once daily or twice daily. If you're not sure, it's best to confirm your most current medication with your provider first and then make sure that your pharmacy discontinues the version of metoprolol you're no longer taking.

What are the risks and warnings for Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL)?
Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.
Heart problems after suddenly stopping the medication
Risk factors: Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Don't stop taking metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) suddenly. This can lead to an irregular or fast heartbeat, high blood pressure, poor blood circulation to your heart, or raise your risk of chest pain or heart attack. Work with your provider to lower your dose slowly over 1 to 2 weeks if you'd like to stop taking metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL).
Worsened symptoms of heart failure
Risk factors: Heart failure | When the dose is raised
Though metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) can be used for heart failure, worsening symptoms of heart failure can also occur when the dose is raised. Talk to your provider if you think your heart failure is getting worse (e.g., more swelling in your legs, trouble breathing). They will work with you to find the best dose of metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) and your other heart failure medications for you.
Risk of difficulty breathing
Risk factors: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) | Asthma
Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) can cause the vessels in your lung to tighten. This can make breathing difficult, especially in people with breathing problems, like asthma. This problem is very rare with metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) because it's a selective beta blocker, meaning it targets your heart rather than your lungs. To be safe, make sure your provider knows about your full medical history before starting this medication.
Rise in blood pressure in people with pheochromocytoma
Risk factors: History of pheochromocytoma
If you have pheochromocytoma (a hormone-producing tumor from your adrenal glands), let your provider know. In people with this condition, taking metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) alone can actually raise your blood pressure instead of lowering it. To avoid this, your provider will likely prescribe an alpha-blocker medication first to keep your blood pressure under control.
Greater risk during surgery
Risk factors: Major surgery requiring anesthesia | Risk of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke
If you're planning to undergo a major surgery (not heart-related) requiring anesthesia, tell your surgeon that you're taking metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL). Taking high doses of this medication around the time of surgery has been linked to low heart rate, low blood pressure, stroke, and death. So your surgeon will make sure to monitor your heart closely.
Hiding symptoms of low blood sugar
Risk factors: Diabetes
Taking metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) can make it difficult for you to identify symptoms of low blood sugar, such as fast heart beat or tremors. If you’re taking medications, like glipizide or insulin, to lower your blood sugar, you might not be able to rely on all the typical symptoms of low blood sugar (e.g., irritability, sight tremors, confusion, and fast heartbeat) to warn you of a dangerous drop in your sugar levels. Sweating might be the only symptom not affected by taking metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL). Speak with your healthcare provider about when and how to monitor your blood sugar if you start metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL).
Masked symptoms of overactive thyroid
Risk factors: Hyperthyroidism
Because metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) lowers your heart rate, it might be harder to notice heart-related symptoms caused by an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). If you have hyperthyroidism, don't suddenly stop taking metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL), since this can worsen thyroid problems.
Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) dosage forms
The average cost for 30 tablets of 25mg of Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) is $9.00 with a free GoodRx coupon. This is 53.27% off the average retail price of $19.26.

High blood pressure
Adults: The typical starting dose is 25 mg to 100 mg by mouth once daily. Your provider might adjust your dose weekly based on how your blood pressure is doing.
Children ages 6 years and older: Your child's provider will determine your child's dose based on their body weight. The typical starting dose is 1 mg/kg of body weight (up to 50 mg of metoprolol succinate) by mouth once a day. Your child's provider might adjust their dose weekly based on how their blood pressure is doing.
Chest pain
Adults: The typical starting dose is 100 mg by mouth once daily. Your provider might raise your dose weekly based on your heart rate.
Heart failure
Adults: The typical starting dose ranges from 12.5 mg to 25 mg by mouth once daily. Your provider might raise your dose every 2 weeks based on your symptoms, up to a maximum of 200 mg daily.
