Metoprolol
Brand names: DUTOPROL (in combination) KAPSPARGO LOPRESSOR TOPROL XL
Description
Metoprolol is a cardioselective beta-adrenergic blocking agent. It has a relatively greater blocking effect on beta1-receptors (ie those mediating adrenergic stimulation of heart rate and contractility and release of free fatty acids from fat stores) than on beta2-receptors, which are chiefly involved in broncho and vasodilation.
