A member asked:

Does generic of toprol (metoprolol) xr work any better or worse than the real thing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly worse: There have been reports of people switching from toprol xl to generic metoprolol having increases in blood pressure, indicating that it may not work as well. If you are switching, i'd be very careful.
