• Description: Metoprolol is a beta-adrenergic receptor blocker that is used in the treatment of high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. It also has an effect on the regulation of energy metabolism, decreasing myocardial oxygen consumption, and increasing myocardial contractility. The drug binds to erythrocyte membrane proteins, including albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, which are responsible for transporting metoprolol from plasma to the tissue. Metoprolol succinate is a prodrug that is metabolized by esterases to release metoprolol in vivo. Metoprolol has been shown to reduce systolic blood pressure in patients with hypertension. It has been found to be effective in reducing symptoms of cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, when combined with other antiarrhythmic drugs. Metoprolol can also be used for the treatment of metabolic disorders such
