Lopresor SR belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers. It is a second generation beta blocker, meaning it mostly affects the heart, causing reduced cardiac output. Its generic name is Metoprolol Tartrate. Beta blocker is short for beta-adrenergic block agents. These drugs work by blocking norepinephrine and epinephrine (neurotransmitters) from binding to receptors. When this happens, it blocks the adrenaline. This then allows the heart to relax and slow down its beating, resulting in a reduction in the amount of blood the heart must pump. As the treatment with Lopresor SR (Metoprolol Tartrate) continues, it improves the heart’s pumping action. It is available from an online Canadian pharmacy and can be stored at room temperature.
Your health care provider might prescribe Lopresor SR (Metoprolol Tartrate) for cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, high coronary artery disease risk, diabetes, post heart attack (myocardial infarction), angina pectoris due to coronary atherosclerosis, and hypertension (high blood pressure). Some other “off label” uses of Lopresor SR and other beta blockers include migraine headaches, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, fibromyalgia, generalized anxiety disorder, parkinsonian tremor, and atrial fibrillation. It is very important that you not try to treat yourself for any of these conditions by using someone else’s prescription for Lopresor SR (Metoprolol Tartrate).

Lopresor SR (Metoprolol Tartrate) may cause the following side effects: diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting, rash, blurred vision, muscle cramps, fatigue, hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. If you experience these, or any other possible side effects, do not stop taking Lopresor SR immediately. Stopping this drug all at once may actually cause your symptoms of angina or hypertension to worsen, resulting in headache, depression, confusion, dizziness, nightmares, and hallucinations.
You can buy discount Lopresor SR through online Canada drugs stores. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your doctor. Your pharmacist can confirm these instructions for you. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if you are less than four hours away from your next dose, just skip the missed dose and continue dosing at the next scheduled time. You should not take extra Lopresor SR to make up any missed doses. If you accidentally overdose, you may experience slow or uneven heartbeats, shortness of breath, bluish-colored fingernails, dizziness, weakness, or fainting.
