Toprol Xl Side Effects

What is Toprol Xl?

Toprol XL is known generically as Metoprolol, which is a beta receptor blocker prescribed to people suffering from cardiovascular problems, such as high blood pressure, angina pectoris (chest pain), and heart attacks. Beta blockers lessen the strength and frequency of heart rhythms, thus lowering the body's demand for oxygen and causing lower blood pressure. Toprol XL is most frequently prescribed for cardiac problems, but can be administered for other purposes. Consult a doctor for more information about Toprol XL.
