Lopressor® (metoprolol tartrate) is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure and angina symptoms. Taking the medication after a heart attack can also help increase the chances of survival. The drug works by reversing the effect of certain stress hormones in the body, which reduces heart rate, both diastolic and systolic blood pressure, and the workload of the heart.
 
Lopressor comes in tablet form and is available in two strengths. Side effects can include shortness of breath, itching or an unexplained rash, and depression. A few of the factors that can affect the dosage your healthcare provider prescribes include how you respond to the medication, other medicines you may be taking, and other medical conditions you may have.
