A member asked:
My doctor started me on metoprolol 25 mg twice daily for svt. what are the best times to take this medication to make sure 24 hours are covered?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
12 hours apart: Ideally, you would take the 2 doses 12 hours apart, e.g. 8 am and 8 pm, 9 am and 9 pm, etc. In most cases, you should be able to adjust the times around your sleep time and activities to fit your daily lifestyle.
