A member asked:

Is 25 mg metoprolol daily considered a high dose?also 12,5 mg daily makes my hr go down to 50 sitting resting. is that common on such a low dose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metoprolol dose: 25mg of metoprolol daily is a low dose. You can have a reduction in HR at any dose. It depends on what your HR was before starting and on what other medications you may be taking.
