Will Metoprolol 25 Cause Pain If Used For A Long Term?
My mother is on metoprolol 25 mg twice daily. she has been experiencening leg pain in her knees. I was reading the side effects and read that it can cause leg pain. however may question is can it cause this pain on long term use and is it reversable?
Beta blockers normally don’t cause pain. In rare cases everything is possible in medicine, but no. Muscle pain is a problem seen in patients who take statins, joint pain in neither of these to types of medication. Does your mum take statins by any chance? Then you would know who the real culprit is.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
