Metoprolol ER is the other option. It’s extended release. Many AFIB persons take 25mg ( or higher dose daily). The Metoprolol tartrate is for bringing high heart beats down quickly. AFIB and altitude and exercise seem to be a trigger for me.
I take 1/2 tab Metroperol Tartrate 25 mg to lower heartbeat when in AFIB.
I also take 25mg Metroperol ER daily. I’ve had 1 ablation 3 years ago and suspect I will receive a recommendation to have another from my EP.
You should ask your cardiologist about the proper prescribed use of Metroperol. Wishing you success in controlling AFIB, it can be a try and see drug option.
Hm. Just read Atenolol is to lower blood pressure (mine is normal).
Also that it was taken off the market!
