What is the difference between metoprolol and propranolol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metoprolol: They are both beta blockers , metoprolol has a slightly longer half time and is more beta specific . In general they are fairly similar in practice. One or the other may be a bit more effective for an individual problem.
