Black Box Warning

WARNING
See full prescribing information for complete Boxed Warning.
ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE
Following abrupt cessation of therapy with certain beta-blocking agents, exacerbations of angina pectoris and, in some cases, myocardial infarction have occurred. When discontinuing chronically administered metoprolol succinate, particularly in patients with ischemic heart disease, the dosage should be gradually reduced over a period of 1 - 2 weeks and the patient should be carefully monitored. If angina markedly worsens or acute coronary insufficiency develops, metoprolol succinate administration should be reinstated promptly, at least temporarily, and other measures appropriate for the management of unstable angina should be taken. Warn patients against interruption or discontinuation of therapy without the physician’s advice. Because coronary artery disease is common and may be unrecognized, it may be prudent not to discontinue metoprolol succinate therapy abruptly even in patients treated only for hypertension

Overview
Metoprolol succinate (tablet) is a beta-adrenergic blocker that is FDA approved for the {{{indicationType}}} of hypertension, angina pectoris, heart failure. There is a Black Box Warning for this drug as shown here. Common adverse reactions include bradyarrhythmia, heart failure, hypotension, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, headache, depression, dyspnea, wheezing.
Adult Indications and Dosage
FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)
Hypertension
- Dosing Information
- The initial dosage is 25 to 100 mg daily in a single dose. The dosage may be increased at weekly (or longer) intervals until optimum blood pressure reduction is achieved. In general, the maximum effect of any given dosage level will be apparent after 1 week of therapy.
- Dosages above 400 mg per day have not been studied.
Angina Pectoris
- Dosing Information
- Individualize the dosage of metoprolol succinate. The usual initial dosage is 100 mg daily, given in a single dose. Gradually increase the dosage at weekly intervals until optimum clinical response has been obtained or there is a pronounced slowing of the heart rate.
- Dosages above 400 mg per day have not been studied. If treatment is to be discontinued, reduce the dosage gradually over a period of 1 - 2 weeks
Heart Failure
- Dosing information
- Dosage must be individualized and closely monitored during up-titration. Prior to initiation of metoprolol succinate, stabilize the dose of other heart failure drug therapy.
- The recommended starting dose of metoprolol succinate is 25 mg once daily for two weeks in patients with NYHA Class II heart failure and 12.5 mg once daily in patients with more severe heart failure. Double the dose every two weeks to the highest dosage level tolerated by the patient or up to 200 mg of metoprolol succinate.
- Initial difficulty with titration should not preclude later attempts to introduce metoprolol succinate. If patients experience symptomatic bradycardia, reduce the dose of metoprolol succinate. If transient worsening of heart failure occurs, consider treating with increased doses of diuretics, lowering the dose of metoprolol succinate or temporarily discontinuing it.
- The dose of metoprolol succinate should not be increased until symptoms of worsening heart failure have been stabilized.

Pediatric Hypertensive Patients ≥ 6 Years of Age
- Dosing Information
- A pediatric clinical hypertension study in patients 6 to 16 years of age did not meet its primary endpoint (dose response for reduction in SBP); however some other endpoints demonstrated effectiveness.
- If selected for treatment, the recommended starting dose of metoprolol succinate is 1 mg/kg once daily, but the maximum initial dose should not exceed 50 mg once daily. Dosage should be adjusted according to blood pressure response.
- Doses above 2 mg/kg (or in excess of 200 mg) once daily have not been studied in pediatric patients.
