A member asked:
Is it safe to switch from propanalol 60 mg to toprol (metoprolol) 50 mgs?

Beta blockers: Going from Propranolol to metoprolol is a beta blocker for beta blocker exchange and should be fine. Should discuss with your doctor.

Yes: If you are switching from a once daily, long acting form of propanol, then you should be able to switch over without problems. They are both beta blockers.
