A member asked:

I was prescribed and taking 500mg metoprolol tartrate for myocardial bridging for years until i became sick. could this have long term toxic affects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metoprolol 500mg: Seems a very high dose unless you mean 50mg. Every medication has adverse effects however the benefits when the medication is indicated outweighs the adverse effects and when the medication is withdrawn the adverse effects may resolve
