I just had dental implant surgery and dentist told me to stop taking amlodipine . ( i take amlodipine 10 mg and metoprolol succinate 50 mg . ) my doctor said it was fine but she now wants me to take metoprolol succinate 100 mg . is that ok?

Prescription Meds: Your dentist and physician know your medical history, vitals, and other meds you may be taking. Thay are best prepared to recommend which meds you should take to keep you healthy. If you have any concerns, please take them up with your prescribers.

Likely reasonable: Amlodipine and metoprolol both lower blood pressure. However, amlodipine may affect gum tissue growth around the teeth, and the higher dose of metoprolol may compensate for stopping the amlodipine. That change in therapy may be reasonable.
