Weaning medications : Beta blockers such as propranolol and metoprolol should generally be weaned off gradually-the higher the dose the slower the process. In this particular instance, It would be appropriate to decrease to half a tablet twice a day for two days, then half a tablet once a day for two days then half a tablet on alternate days for two more doses before stopping completely.
