Question 1

i had a cough what medicine can i take? i'm taking metoprolol ?

Accepted Answer

Depends.: First, the cough comes from a particular (treatable) condition. Second, inflammation is almost always present and inhaled steroids or monteleukast are generally helpful.
Then... sugar drops (cough drops) are certainly not going to interact with metoprolol. Also tessalon perls is safe. Decongestants interact with metoprolol... probably would not recommend those.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Dextromethophan: Dextromethorphan is good for cough and safe.

Question 3

what is the treatment of post viral cough if 74 hyper tensive taking metoprolol and cordarone 100mg for afib or can leaves it without treatment?

Accepted Answer

Inhalers: Beta agonist or steroid or both. Stay away from smoke, especially tobacco. Common inhaled meds include fluticasone, albuteral, salmeteral.

Question 4

taking guaifenesin ac for bad cough but it's not helping. what else can i try? i also take effexor (venlafaxine) er and a low dose of metoprolol

Accepted Answer

Benzonatate: You can try benzonatate (tesalon perles) which is a non-narcotic cough suppressant that you take by mouth three times a day. Tell your doctor your medical history, allergies, and other symptoms. When did your symptoms start?Do you have any fever or shortness of breath? If so, go get seen in person. If you have a cough but no fever/chills/shortness of breath, healthtap physician in NJ. Good luck.

Question 5

chf/ckd patient suffering from cough that increases at night.  treated at hospital for pneumonia. should metoprolol be switch to nebivolol/nitroquick?

Accepted Answer

Cough: if the cough was due to medication, it would be all day around , not just at night. Most likely etiology of cough is GERD. Try PPI ( Prilosec OTC etc) daily at HS . If not relieved , see and ENT doctor to get checked out for cough at night.

Question 6

can i take azithromycin and drink camomile tea? i know we can take a lot of herbs but camomile helps me wind down but i dont want to drink if it will cause reactions . im also on metoprolol?

Accepted Answer

: I think you'll only have to avoid chamomile tea if you're taking blood thinners or sedative type meds. Your pharmacist can validate this advice.

Question 7

can metoprolol cause hyperventilation ?

Accepted Answer

: This drug is a beta-blocker, and causes many potential side effects including slowing of pulse, decrease of blood pressure, and even the triggering of asthma in a susceptible person.  So, would not be surprised if one of these complications triggered hyperventilation. If you are taking this medication, contact your physicians and let them know.

Question 8

what causes elevated diastolic bp at night? i get plenty of exercise and take toprol (metoprolol).

Accepted Answer

BP: There is diurnal variation in BP,try taking the Toprol (metoprolol) XL at bedtime.Recently some generics for Toprol (metoprolol) were found to be sub standard-check with your pharmacy

Question 9

was on 200mg of metoprolol now down to 25mg in the last 6 months due to bp dropping. what else would cause a 20 point drop in bp over the course of 3 weeks. had major surgery 5 weeks ago and bp has steadily dropped since then?

Accepted Answer

: The worry and stress before the surgery could have been a component in your high BP prior to the surgery. Also, if you had a lot of pain before the surgery, this can cause your BP to be very elevated. I am not able to give you a complete answer since I do not know all your medical issues. Perhaps your doctor can give you an explanation as well.

Question 10

can low doses of metoprolol (12.5mg) cause anxiety? i feel anxious at the end of the day and the morning of prior to the medicine kicking in(i take at 9 am). almost like im withdrawing everyday from the med. is this possible?

Accepted Answer

: Nervousness, anxiety, impaired alertness are rare (0.01-0.1%) side effects of Metoprolol. 12.5 mg is a very low dose so you can stop it without concerning about rebound effect. If those symptoms subside without metoprolol then you know the answer.
