A member asked:

Is metaprolol 25 at night then another 2 hours before enough to take for cta exam at 11 to get heart rate down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metoprolol: That dose of metoprolol will usually cause adequate slowing in most people. There will always be someone who doesn't get adequate slowing and likely also someone who may get excessive slowing. No one dose regimen is perfect for everyone.
