Toprol

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Toprol but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Toprol
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Metoprolol, a competitive, beta1-selective (cardioselective) adrenergic antagonist, is similar to atenolol in its moderate lipid solubility, lack of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA), and weak membrane stabilizing activity (MSA). For the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris

Mechanism Of Action:
Like betaxolol and atenolol, metoprolol competes with adrenergic neurotransmitters such as catecholamines for binding at beta(1)-adrenergic receptors in the heart and vascular smooth muscle. Beta(1)-receptor blockade results in a decrease in heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure.
