Question 1

when should i take my metropol?

Accepted Answer

Metoprolol?: I think you mean metoprolol. I use chronotherapy as part of my practice. If you look at bad events like stroke or heart attack, they happen most between 4am and 8am. If you take medicine at 7am its effect occurs at 11 am or so and wanes by about 4 am. So for certain meds without water pill, i tell my patients to take them at night so peak effect is when it is most needed, even long acting.

Question 3

is it okay to use metrogel after expiration date?

No: Not recommended to use any expired medications.

Question 4

can i have a couple  of drinks while on metrogel ?

Accepted Answer

Caution advised: Can't drink at all with oral or IV metronidazole: can get violently ill from the drug interaction.
Metrogel (facial) has minimal systemic absorption, but not impossible to have reaction.
Metrogel (vaginal) has greater chance for systemic absorption, therefore more of a chance of an adverse reaction.
I certainly wouldn't have a "couple" (or more) drinks.

Question 7

taking citalopram and metropol is it safe?

Accepted Answer

No worries: There are no significant interactions between citalopram and metoprolol. It is a commonly-seen combination.
Propranolol is in the same class (beta blocker) as metoprolol. Propranolol, though, can enter the nervous system and has potentially-desirable effects such as reducing tremor, reducing risk of some headache types, and reducing some types of anxiety. FYI
