Medically reviewed by Dr. Balaji Krishnan, MBBS · Updated September 2026
Metolar XR 100 contains Metoprolol succinate prolonged-release 100 mg (equivalent to metoprolol 95 mg) per tablet. It belongs to the Selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker (beta-blocker) class of medicines.
Metoprolol is a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It reduces heart rate and the force of contraction, thereby lowering blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand. In heart failure, it helps improve cardiac function over time by reducing sympathetic overactivity.
Oral prolonged-release tablet. Take once daily at the same time each day; swallow whole with water (do not crush/chew/split). Can be taken with or without food; follow your doctor’s prescribed dose and taper only under medical supervision.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
An overdose of this medicine can cause a dangerously slow heartbeat, a severe fall in blood pressure, wheezing and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Most side effects of Metolar XR are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Do not stop suddenly (risk of worsening angina/heart attack); dose should be tapered. Use with caution in asthma/COPD, diabetes (may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), thyroid disorders (may mask hyperthyroidism), peripheral vascular disease, and severe renal/hepatic impairment.
