Buy Metolar XR 50mg (Metoprolol Succinate) Online
Metolar XR 50 mg is available as extended-release capsules for oral administration. The tablet is formed in such a way that provides a controlled release of the active ingredient Metoprolol for once-daily administration. Metoprolol is a member of drug class- beta blockers that treat high blood pressure. The medicine is equally effective in treating angina, irregular heart rhythms. Your doctor may prescribe it alone or in combination with other drugs to treat these conditions. You should not take Metoprolol extended-release capsule if you have a known allergy to metoprolol, or if you have a serious heart condition such as a heart block, sick sinus syndrome, or slow heart rate.
To ensure that Metolar extended-release 50 mg is safe for you, inform your doctor before taking this drug if you have any of the following conditions: diabetes, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, low blood pressure, kidney or liver disease, depression, a thyroid disorder, myasthenia gravis, pheochromocytoma (tumour of the adrenal gland), circulation problems (such as Raynaud’s syndrome), or a history of allergies.
If you are scheduled for a surgery, inform your surgeon well in advance that you are using Metoprolol 50 mg. You may be required to suspend taking this medicine for a short time. Also, do not stop taking this drug without your doctor’s advice. If you stop taking this medicine suddenly, your condition will deteriorate for the worse.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, continue taking Metoprolol even if you do not have any symptoms. High blood pressure does not have any outward signs. You may have to take this medicine for many years.
Other drugs can interact with Metoprolol and affect the way how it works. Some of them include allergy drugs, cimetidine, clonidine, digitalis, dobutamine, terbinafine, haloperidol, isoproterenol, a blood thinners such as warfarin, doxazosin, prazosin, terazosin, amiodarone, propafenone, quinidine, fluconazole, insulin or oral diabetes medicines, antidepressants, other heart or blood pressure medicine, medicines for asthma or other breathing disorders, HIV medicines, anti-malaria medications, or MAO inhibitors.
However, these are not the only drugs that can interact with Metoprolol. Inform your doctor in advance if you use any other medicines or related products. Never start a new medicine without proper medical advice.
Some common and non-serious side effects of Metolar extended-release capsules are dizziness, drowsiness, lightheadedness, diarrhea, or tiredness. If any of these side effects persist or deteriorate, seek medical attention immediately. Metoprolol 50 mg may reduce blood supply to hands and feet, causing them to feel cold. This effect may be worsened by smoking. Warm dressing and tobacco avoidance are advised.
Take Metolar XR 50 mg strictly according to your doctor’s directions. Do not alter the dosage unless your doctor advises you to do so. Also, do not take this medication after the prescribed period is over. You must take Metolar extended-release tablet with food or just after a meal. Do not chew or crush an extended-release capsule; swallow it whole. You may break it in half and swallow it. The dose and frequency of taking Metolar XR 50 mg will be best decided by your doctor.
What is Metolar XR 50mg used for?
Metolar XR 50mg contains Metoprolol Succinate 50mg extended-release and is used as the second step in heart failure up-titration (from 25mg), as a maintenance dose for mild-to-moderate hypertension, and for angina prevention. At 50mg once daily, it provides effective cardioselective beta-1 blockade with a low incidence of side effects, representing a balanced dose between efficacy and tolerability.
How does Metolar XR 50mg compare to Metolar XR 25mg and 100mg?
Metolar XR 50mg provides approximately twice the beta-1 blockade of 25mg and half that of 100mg. Heart rate reduction at 50mg is approximately 10–15 m from baseline. For heart failure, 50mg twice daily (or 100mg total daily) represents a significant step in the titration protocol. For hypertension, 50mg provides meaningful blood pressure reduction in most patients, with many controlled at this dose without needing further escalation.
What is the dosage schedule for Metolar XR 50mg?
Metolar XR 50mg is taken once daily with or after a meal. The extended-release formulation provides consistent drug release over 24 hours from a single morning dose. For heart failure, after two weeks on 25mg, the dose is increased to 50mg. For hypertension, 50mg once daily is maintained as a stable dose if blood pressure targets are achieved. For angina, some patients may require up to 100mg or 200mg under cardiology guidance.
Can Metolar XR 50mg be split or crushed?
No. Metolar XR 50mg must be swallowed whole. Crushing or splitting the extended-release tablet destroys the controlled-release mechanism, causing a rapid release of the entire 50mg dose at once — resulting in excessive bradycardia, hypotension, and peak-related side effects. If you cannot swallow the tablet whole, speak with your doctor about alternative formulations or discuss the tablet-splitting issue with your pharmacist.
Is Metolar XR 50mg safe for patients with asthma?
Metoprolol Succinate is cardioselective (beta-1 selective) and at 50mg has less effect on beta-2 receptors in the airways than non-selective agents like Propranolol. However, selectivity is not absolute — at any dose, beta-2 receptor blockade may occur in susceptible patients. Use Metolar XR 50mg with caution in mild-to-moderate asthma and monitor respiratory function. It is contraindicated in severe or unstable asthma.
Can Metolar XR 50mg be combined with amlodipine for hypertension?
Yes. Metolar XR 50mg and Amlodipine are commonly combined for hypertension when monotherapy is insufficient. Amlodipine acts on peripheral vessels and also slightly counteracts the vasoconstriction that beta blockers can cause (via unopposed alpha receptor activity). The combination is endorsed by guidelines and is generally well tolerated. The once-daily dosing of both medications makes the regimen convenient.
Is Metolar XR 50mg equivalent to Toprol-XL 50mg?
Yes. Metolar XR 50mg (Cipla) and Toprol-XL 50mg (AstraZeneca) both contain Metoprolol Succinate 50mg extended-release and are bioequivalent. The clinical efficacy for hypertension, angina, and heart failure up-titration is identical. AllDayChemist provides Metolar XR 50mg at a fraction of the Toprol-XL price, making the MERIT-HF-proven beta blocker affordable for ongoing cardiac management.
Is generic Metoprolol Succinate XR from Cipla a reliable long-term option?
Yes. Cipla's Metolar XR 50mg is manufactured under stringent quality controls and is bioequivalent to Toprol-XL. For patients who will remain on Metoprolol Succinate XR indefinitely — as is typical in heart failure management — having a reliable, affordable, authenticated source is essential. AllDayChemist has provided Cipla medicines directly to patients in 200+ countries since 2002.

What pricing benefits does AllDayChemist offer for Metolar XR 50mg?
Metolar XR 50mg at AllDayChemist is priced considerably below Toprol-XL 50mg and generic Metoprolol Succinate XR at US retail. For heart failure patients who may need indefinite beta blocker therapy, the cumulative savings through AllDayChemist are significant. Since 2002, AllDayChemist has offered free international shipping on qualifying orders and discreet delivery to 200+ countries.
What side effects does Metolar XR 50mg cause?
At 50mg, common side effects include fatigue, bradycardia, dizziness, cold extremities, and headache. The extended-release formulation reduces peak side effects compared to immediate-release Metoprolol Tartrate 50mg twice daily. Worsening heart failure may occur transiently at the start of therapy. Vivid dreams and sleep disturbances can occur (less frequently than with Propranolol). Cold hands and feet are related to peripheral beta-2 receptor effects.
What precautions are necessary for Metolar XR 50mg?
Swallow the tablet whole — never crush or chew. Take with food. Never stop abruptly — risk of rebound tachycardia and angina. Contraindicated in significant bradycardia, high-degree AV block, cardiogenic shock, and decompensated heart failure. Avoid combining with verapamil or diltiazem without close monitoring. Monitor heart rate — maintain above 50 m at rest. Diabetics should monitor glucose carefully. Inform surgeons and anaesthetists about beta blocker use.
