I'm having starpress xl 25 tablet for high BP. Can I use to take atenolol 25 mg in place of the starpress xl 25 mg.

Atenolol is an old content with many side effects. Starpress (metoprolol) is a new improved conntent with less side effects compare to atenolol.
Better take homoeopathic treatment. It may even help to stop all the medicines.

You can very well take metoprol xl 25 mg in place of the starpress xl 25 mg. As both are the same medicine, metoprolol.

It's best not to discontinue medicine but at the same time not needed if BP is controlled nicely Please check your pulse rate/heart rate and BP, can easily be done with an automatic BP monitor Will stop metolar cL if pulse rate is not high Do let me know the general readings.

Hi, Since it's an emergency state it's okay if she used 1 dose of metoprolol tablet. It's category c drug. Which means no controlled studies in human pregnant women is conducted so far. Moreover, the condition is emergency and benefit overweight the risk. So, Please do not worry.

Your pulse rate of 122 is the upper limit of normal pregnant women. Kindly recheck at different occasion before starting the medicine. As metoprolol is category c drug. Which means no studies in human or animal done sufficiently to know its effect on pregnant women.

dry mouth is a side-effect of Starpress xl which is metoprolol and it is not going to harm you. But it is a very good medicine for your heart, so should continue your medicine, if it bothers you too much you can ask your doctor to change the XL version to a simple version. So nothing to panic or worry.
