Patient summary
Toprol XL is metoprolol 25mg to 100mg in a modified-release tablet for hypertension, angina and prophylaxis after myocardial infarction.
Mechanism of action
Toprol XL is a cardioselective beta-1 receptor blocker. By preventing catecholamine binding at these receptor sites in the heart, it lowers the force and rate of myocardial contraction and reduces blood pressure, decreasing the heart's oxygen demand.
