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

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.
