12.5 mg of metoperlol making heart rate to slow so stopping the drug, do i need to ween off of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not. : Tapering off such a low does of metoprolol is usually not necessary. If you stop the medication and start to have any symptoms then might go to every other day dosing before stopping. You should talk to your doctor about stopping any medications.
