Introduction
Lopresor belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (heart-related chest pain), irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia).

Lopresor is a short-acting beta blocker that works specifically on the heart. It works by slowing down the heart rate and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood around the body.
Quick Tips
- It may cause dizziness. If this happens to you, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.

Extended-release tab: >6 years: 1 mg/kg PO qDay; not to exceed 50 mg/day initially;
adjusted on basis of patient response; not to exceed 2 mg/kg/day or <200 mg/day
Renal Dose
Renal impairment: No dosage adjustment needed.
Contraindication
2nd or 3rd degree AV block, sick sinus syndrome, hypotension, decompensated heart failure, sinus bradycardia, severe peripheral arterial circulatory disorders, cardiogenic shock, severe asthma and bronchospasm, untreated phaeochromocytoma, Prinzmetal's angina, metabolic acidosis.
Mode of Action
Metoprolol selectively inhibits beta1-adrenergic receptors but has little or no effect on beta2-receptors except in high doses. It does not exhibit membrane stabilising or intrinsic sympathomimetic activity.
Precaution
Patients w/ myasthenia gravis, well-compensated heart failure, bronchospastic disease, AV conduction disorders, substantial cardiomegaly. May mask signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism and hypoglycaemia. Patients w/ history of cardiac failure or those w/ minimal cardiac reserve. Patients undergoing major surgery involving general anaesth. Avoid abrupt withdrawal as it may precipitate thyroid storm or MI, and may exacerbate angina and ventricular arrhythmias. Hepatic impairment. Pregnancy and lactation. Patient Counselling May affect ability to drive or operate machinery. Monitoring Parameters Monitor BP, ECG and heart rate. Lactation: Drug is concentrated in breast milk; use with caution (American Academy of Pediatrics states that drug...

Additive negative effects on SA or AV nodal conduction w/ cardiac glycosides, nondihydropyridine Ca channel blockers. Paradoxical response to epinephrine may occur. Increased plasma concentrations w/ CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g. bupropion, cimetidine). Increased risk of hypotension and heart failure w/ myocardial depressant general anaesth (e.g. diethyl ether).
