What Is Metoprolol Tartrate 25mg?

Metoprolol tartrate is a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces the force of the heart's contractions, lowering blood pressure and the heart's workload. It is the immediate-release form of metoprolol, sold under the brand name Lopressor. Doctors prescribe it for high blood pressure, chest pain caused by angina, and to reduce the risk of death after a heart attack. It is typically taken by mouth once or twice daily, often with or immediately after meals.
