==Overview==
 
Metoprolol is a competitive, [[Beta-1 adrenergic receptor|β<sub>1</sub>]]-selective (cardioselective) [[beta blocker|blocker]] used in treatment of [[angina pectoris]], [[hypertension]], [[arrhythmia]], and [[migraine]]. Common adverse reactions include [[bradyarrhythmia]], [[heart block]], [[heart failure]], [[hypotension]], [[pruritus]], [[rash]], [[constipation]], [[diarrhea]], [[indigestion]], [[nausea]], [[dizziness]], [[fatigue]], [[headache]], [[depression]], [[dyspnea]], and [[wheezing]].
 
The active substance metoprolol is employed either as ''metoprolol [[succinic acid|succinate]]'' or as ''metoprolol [[tartrate]]'' (where 100 mg metoprolol [[tartrate]] corresponds to 95 mg metoprolol [[succinic acid|succinate]]). The [[tartrate]] is an immediate-release and the [[succinic acid|succinate]] is an extended-release [[Pharmaceutical formulation|formulation]].<ref>{{cite journal | author = Cupp M | title = Alternatives for Metoprolol Succinate | journal = Pharmacist's Letter / Prescriber's Letter | year = 2009 | volume = 25 | issue = 250302 | url = http://www.ncbop.org/PDF/MetoprololShortageMarch2009.pdf | format = pdf | accessdate = }}</ref>
