How To Stay Safe When Taking High Blood Pressure Medication


High blood pressure is treated with many different groups of medicines. Each group affects the body in a different way. Depending on your full assessment, your doctor may decide you need a single medicine, or a combination of two or more.

Beta blockers are one group. They slow the heart down. They also reduce the force with which it pumps blood and therefore prevent the heart from working as hard. The end result of these actions is lower blood pressure.

What is Toprol-XL?

Toprol-XL is a beta blocker designed to give up medicine slowly in your body. Drip, drip, drip. This way, you can take your medicine less frequently. Also, this is a gentler way for your body to receive medication, rather than having a big hit with each dose.

Common Toprol-XL side effects

As with any medicine, you should be aware that side effects are a very real possibility.

Some commonly reported side effects you want to watch out for include: dizziness, tiredness, cold hands or feet, anxiety, disturbed sleep, disturbed bowels and dry eyes, mouth, and skin.
How to take Toprol-XL safely

  1. Double check your doctor's directions on how to take your medicine. Do you know the amount you should take? When you should take it? How you should take it - with or without food?
  2. Keep a record and tell your doctor every thing else that you take. Include other prescription drugs, supplements, alternative remedies, and over-the-counter meds.
  3. If you have any questions at all about side effects while taking Toprol-XL, the best people to talk to are your pharmacist and your doctor. Speak to them right away.
  4. If anyone recommends you stop taking Toprol-XL, for whatever reason, even if this person is another doctor, DON'T. First discuss it with your doctor who prescribed it for you in the first place. The two doctors will probably need to contact each other to make sure their treatments work in harmony. If you all decide that stopping Toprol-XL is right for you, your doctor will recommend a safe way to gradually stop. You must never stop taking Toprol-XL abruptly.
