A member asked:

Have metoprolol for benign pvcs. scared to take the 25mg tablet. can i start with a 1/4 dose and work up?

Dr. Elizabeth Wallen answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Why?: What are your fears? 25 mg is very low dose, many doctors start at 100 mg. it would be a waste of time and a waste of your medication to decrease your dose to 1/4. You need to discuss your specific concerns with your prescribing doctor.
