Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a potent medication primarily used for the management of various cardiovascular conditions. These include hypertension, angina, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and migraines. This medication belongs to the class of drugs known as beta-blockers, which function by inhibiting the action of certain hormones in the body. This action helps to lower blood pressure and enhance heart function.

It is also utilized in the management of angina, a condition marked by chest pain due to inadequate blood flow to the heart. Furthermore, this medication is used in the treatment of heart failure, a condition where the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the body's needs.

Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) can also be prescribed for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, a condition characterized by irregular heartbeats, and migraines, which are severe headaches. This medication is enclosed in two gelatin or vegetarian shells, making it easy to swallow and ensuring a precise dosage of the active ingredients.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various cardiovascular conditions and migraine. This medication is a beta-blocker, which functions by inhibiting the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. The result is a reduction in heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

In the context of hypertension, metoprolol aids in decreasing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. For patients suffering from angina, metoprolol helps alleviate chest pain by reducing the heart's workload. In cases of heart failure, metoprolol contributes to lowering the risk of hospitalization and death. For those with atrial fibrillation, metoprolol assists in reducing the risk of stroke. In the treatment of migraine, metoprolol helps decrease the frequency and severity of migraine headaches.

It's important to note that metoprolol may interact with other medications, including diuretics, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Therefore, patients are advised to inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking before starting metoprolol. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out for further information.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
