Buy Metolar 100mg (Metoprolol Tartrate) Online
Metolar 100 mg contains metoprolol tartrate, which belongs to a group of medicines known as beta-blockers. It reduces the effect of stress hormones on the heart associated with physical and mental exertion. This, in turn, reduces heart rate Metolar is effective in treating the following conditions:
— Angina pectoris (Chest pain)
— High blood pressure
— Irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia) in adults.
Do not take Metolar 100 mg if you are allergic to Metoprolol, beta-blockers, and other ingredients of this medicine. Avoid taking this medicine if you have heart conduction problems, untreated heart failure, blocked blood vessel problems, blood circulation problems, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD), and increased acidity of the blood. Moreover, Metoprolol should not be taken by intravenous injection if you receive other blood pressure medicines, such as diltiazem and verapamil.
Talk to your doctor before taking Metoprolol:
— If you have asthma, diabetic mellitus, an overactive thyroid, or high blood pressure due to an adrenal gland tumour
— If you are going to have an anaesthetic and take metolar tablets. Limited data is available on using Metoprolol in children and adolescents; therefore, this medication is not recommended.
— If you are taking any other medicines. Metoprolol tablets can affect how other medicines work, and some medications may affect the mode of action of Metoprolol.
If metolar 100 mg tablets are to combine with the medicines listed below, you must speak to your doctor before taking this medicine. The medications that need to be avoided with Metoprolol include:
— Medicines to treat epilepsy, such as phenobarbital.
— Medicines used to treat cardiovascular r diseases such as quinidine, propafenone, nifedipine, diltiazem, amlodipine, and verapamil.
You are advised to avoid alcohol while receiving a beta blocker. Alcohol may increase the blood pressure-lowering effect of Metoprolol.
Metolar 100 mg is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine. The medicine may make you tired and dizzy. Make sure you don’t get affected before you drive or operate machinery.

What is Metolar 100mg used for?
Metolar 100mg contains Metoprolol Tartrate 100mg, the immediate-release form of Metoprolol. It is used for hypertension, angina pectoris, and certain arrhythmias. The immediate-release tartrate form requires twice-daily dosing to provide adequate 24-hour coverage. At 100mg twice daily, it provides intensive cardioselective beta blockade — useful in managing angina where peak-dose effects are needed before planned exertion.
How does Metolar 100mg differ from Metolar XR?
Metolar 100mg (Metoprolol Tartrate) is immediately released and acts within one to two hours with a duration of approximately six to eight hours, requiring twice-daily dosing. Metolar XR (Metoprolol Succinate) uses an extended-release mechanism for 24-hour coverage with once-daily dosing. For hypertension and long-term heart failure, XR is generally preferred for its smoother blood pressure control and convenience. Tartrate is more useful in acute situations where rapid and controllable beta blockade is needed.
What is the dosage for Metolar 100mg?
Metolar 100mg is typically taken twice daily (morning and evening) for hypertension and angina management. The total daily dose of 200mg provides intensive beta-1 blockade. For some patients, 100mg once daily may be used as an initial dose with review after two weeks. Food improves Metoprolol bioavailability — take each dose with or after a meal. Do not skip the evening dose as blood pressure and heart rate can rise between doses of twice-daily Metoprolol.
Can Metolar 100mg be taken once daily?
Metoprolol Tartrate immediate-release has a relatively short duration of action — six to eight hours. Twice-daily dosing provides more consistent 24-hour blood pressure and heart rate control. Some cardiologists allow once-daily dosing in patients with mild hypertension, but blood pressure control quality is generally inferior to twice-daily dosing. If once-daily dosing is preferred, switching to Metolar XR (extended-release) is the better clinical choice.
Is Metolar 100mg appropriate for urgent hypertension management?
Yes. Immediate-release Metoprolol Tartrate has a faster onset of action than the XR formulation, making it more useful when acute beta blockade is needed — for example, in managing hypertension associated with thyrotoxicosis or tachycardia. In hospitalised patients, oral Metoprolol Tartrate is used for rate control before switching to the XR formulation for discharge. For non-urgent chronic hypertension, XR is preferred.
Can Metolar 100mg be used for migraine prevention?
Metoprolol immediate-release is approved for migraine prophylaxis in some countries. However, evidence for migraine prevention is stronger for Metoprolol ER/XR (once-daily compliance) and Propranolol (which has CNS effects that contribute to migraine prevention). Metolar 100mg twice daily can be used for migraine when other options are unavailable, but Propranolol (Ciplar) or Metoprolol Succinate XR are generally preferred for this indication.
How does Metolar 100mg compare to Lopressor 100mg?
Metolar 100mg and Lopressor 100mg (branded Metoprolol Tartrate, Novartis) both contain Metoprolol Tartrate 100mg immediate-release. They are bioequivalent. Lopressor carries a brand premium. Metolar 100mg from Cipla is the quality-assured generic alternative available at AllDayChemist at a significantly lower price, providing identical cardioselective beta blockade for hypertension and angina management.
Is generic Metoprolol Tartrate 100mg as effective as Lopressor?

Cipla's Metolar 100mg is manufactured under certified quality standards. AllDayChemist provides this authentic generic at a fraction of the Lopressor brand price, making twice-daily antihypertensive therapy affordable.

What side effects does Metolar 100mg cause?
Side effects of Metolar 100mg include fatigue (more prominent at this dose than at 50mg), bradycardia, cold extremities, dizziness, headache, and sleep disturbances. Metoprolol is partially lipophilic, so it can cause vivid dreams or insomnia in some patients. Erectile dysfunction can occur. Worsening Raynaud's phenomenon is possible. At the 100mg twice-daily total dose of 200mg, side effects are more common than at lower doses.
What precautions apply to Metolar 100mg?
Never stop abruptly. Take with food. Avoid in decompensated heart failure, severe bradycardia, and significant AV block. Contraindicated in severe asthma. Monitor heart rate — do not allow resting rate to fall below 50 m without medical review. Inform anaesthetists before surgery. Diabetics should monitor glucose carefully. Avoid simultaneous use of verapamil or diltiazem without close monitoring. Discuss switching to XR formulation if twice-daily dosing is challenging to maintain.
