A member asked:
My husband has been prescribed metoprolol to reduce his heartrate, which was running over 100 bpm. will the medicine help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hopefully: Metoprolol is part of a class of medications called beta blockers that inhibit beta receptors in the heart. This action lead to slowing of the heart rate. You should follow closely with the doctor to determine if any adjustments in the medication are needed.
