Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg/Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of cardiovascular conditions. This combination medication is used to manage hypertension, congestive heart failure, angina, arrhythmia, and myocardial infarction. Metoprolol tartrate, a beta-blocker, works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, that affect the heart and blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic, aids the body in eliminating excess water and salt. Together, these two active ingredients work synergistically to reduce blood pressure, improve heart function, and decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke.

It is also beneficial for patients with congestive heart failure, as it helps to reduce the heart's workload and improve its function. For those suffering from angina, this formulation aids in reducing chest pain by improving blood flow to the heart. It is also beneficial for arrhythmia, as it helps to regulate the heart rate and reduce the risk of abnormal heart rhythms. Lastly, this formulation is beneficial for myocardial infarction, as it helps to reduce the risk of further damage to the heart muscle.

This formulation is encapsulated in two gelatin or vegetarian shells, providing a solid dosage form that is easy to swallow and delivers a precise dosage of the active ingredients. The capsules are gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can help manage your cardiovascular condition, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to assist you with your medication needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg/Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various cardiovascular conditions. These include hypertension, congestive heart failure, angina, arrhythmia, and myocardial infarction. The formulation is enclosed in two gelatin or vegetarian shells, ensuring easy swallowing and precise dosage.

Metoprolol Tartrate, a beta-blocker, functions by inhibiting the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This action reduces the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. Hydrochlorothiazide, on the other hand, is a diuretic that works by increasing the amount of salt and water that the kidneys remove from the blood, thereby helping to lower blood pressure.

When used in combination, Metoprolol Tartrate and Hydrochlorothiazide can effectively reduce blood pressure and improve symptoms of hypertension, congestive heart failure, angina, arrhythmia, and myocardial infarction. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used in patients with severe bradycardia, heart block, or cardiogenic shock. Additionally, patients should be monitored for signs of electrolyte imbalance, such as low potassium levels.

It is essential to take Metoprolol Tartrate and Hydrochlorothiazide exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about this formulation or how it treats these disease states, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

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.
