Since this medication is expensive and there is now a Generic brand called Metoprolol tartrate 50 Mg which I now take one 50 mg in the morning and one 50 mg in the evening.

Hi. I've been taking Lopressor now for almost a year and I have had no bad side effects. I do however recommend you follow your doctor's recommendations so you will not have any problems he or she does not know about. Linda
