Hello,
Thank You for the query at HCM
Dizziness,
drowsiness, fatigue, low blood pressure, depressed mood, breathing difficulty especially in patients with asthma or COPD,
erectile dysfunction are some of the side effects of Toprol (
Metoprolol). Taking alcohol along with Metoprolol, especially during first few weeks of treatment can reduce blood pressure levels dangerously low.This effect is less pronounced once your body acclimatize to the medication.
However, you should not discontinue Toprol. It is important to treat
high blood pressure. Elevated blood pressure levels have serious health risk like cardiac problems, stroke etc.
Please be advised to continue Toprol as prescribed.If you develop any side effects, consult your treating physician.
Hope I was able to help you
Please address further questions
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
