A member asked:

Metoprolol tartrate and metoprolol succinate: can they be taken together?

9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Different meds: Although they are both the same medicine, they are taken differently. Tartrate is a shorter acting form meant to be taking 2 or 3 times a day. Succinate is a long acting form meant to be taken once a day. To me, it doesn't make sense to be on both.

No: they are the same drug so you should NOT take both at once
