What To Avoid When Taking Metoprolol (& Beta Blockers) | Substances & Medication Interactions

I take lisinopril and metoprolol because of cardiomyopathy. Works fabulous keeping my heart from svt runs.

[@pennygirl99]

Hello I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy yesterday and was prescribed both the meds you are taking. how long have you had cardiomyopathy? Im reading such bad things like this cant ever get better unless with a surgery where they cut the thick part in the heart. I have been so depressed since I got the news yesterday.

[@Beepinsqueekin]

@@pennygirl99 I had Dilated cardiomyopathy in 1997 after the birth of my last baby. My ejection fraction was about 20-25%. I was able to recover from that in about 2 years ( ejection fraction up to 55% which is in normal range). I then developed Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in 2020 (called broken heart syndrome). I'm 66 years old and doing well. My answer to you is how you heal depends on the cause of the cardiomyopathy. Good luck to you!

I dont like taking medication this is my first time in 40 years of living being prescribed meds. I asked him if theres no cure to Cardiomypathy then why am I taking these two meds, He stated its to protect my heart. But I been reading all day today and many people that are saying it was hereditary are saying they seen many immediate family members past from this. I was very happy to see a reply from you. Were you precribed anything? I am also hearing about a ICD implanted in you.

I feel this cardiologist was acting like this was not serious and he had me very upset because every question I asked he would just act like all was well. I been reading all day and have also seen many cardiologist on youtube talking abouy this and I seen where one cardiologist said they can go in and rid of the thick part and he also stated massive increased wall thickness of 30 millimeters in the lower left chamber of the heart means it can cause a heart attack. He says you can be protected of sudden death with an ICD. He said the medicines dont prevent sudden death. The cardiologist did not explain none of this to me.

It only helps to keep the rate low during AF. It has no effect on your heart's ability, or inclination, to enter AF, or to evolve to more advanced stages of AF. Only anti-arrhythmic drugs can improve rhythm, or forestall the inclination to enter AF. Metoprolol is a rate control medicine.

The prescription is only 25mil so I guess it's the lowest dose. Kind of Leary about this as I was on a carnivorous diet for 6 months, never had any problems with blood tests until then.

To the people in the comments sharing antidotal evidence that they feel their cannabis use hasn’t interacted with their beta blocker…so what? It’s irresponsible and can do harm to minimize a potential safety issue for some. Not everyone has the same response to a drug…not everyone has the same reaction to a drug. Just because one person didn’t have a side effect doesn’t mean another person won’t. I work in the industry and not even pharmaceutical companies (who are financially incentivized to minimize safety) espouse such things as “ some people didn’t have a side effect” We can all strive to be as truthful and not misleading as pharmaceutical companies… At least I would hope Let the science stand for itself: some people will experience an interaction when using cannabis and a beta blocker. Period. Side note: it’s the cannabis users who seem to be sounding off. I haven’t seen anyone in the comment section debating that they are on an SSRI and a beta blocker with no issue. Hmm?? We can ponder what’s behind that….

My experience w/ medication: AVOID the people prescribing this medication as they really have no idea how it affects you! I have been subject to several dosage changes and every time I feel worse within three days. Currently can not live an active everyday life because I am on my back all day. Also being ignored is the sinus condition I have dealt with for decades and this medicine seems to make the drainage worse. I question doctors and nurses, they are quoting what the drug salespeople tell them, not reality!

[@rcrai4705]

Adding to my original: I am being prescribed the medicine through the VA. No two doctors or PN agree w/ the dosage and the people at the ER I recently went to (side effects of the med) did not agree w/ the dosage. Last I heard I was cut down to 12.5 mg (half the standard 25 mg tablet). They had sent me four vials w/o my asking for refill a few months back on top of two unopen vials I had. Just received new refill in the mill I did not ask for as the doctor did not want me to have to cut pills in two, better to have right dose never mind the cost to taxpayer ( my words). They sent 50 mg tablets... Called the VA, which was shutting down for weekend, and told to throw these away as they were from a prescription placed a week ago. Wrong! So the medical problem w/ this drug is that no two doctors I have encountered in the last year (been on the drug for three) agree on dosage. And I am not taking a chance based upon what is said on the innernet!

I'm a heart patient I take metropolol , varapimil , they are beta blockers and channel blockers not blood pressure my blood pressure med is omasartin ask any cardiovascular or cardiologist and they will tell you if you don't have a heart condition you don't take metropolol

[@missusw1]

I looked in to the interactions of Bisoprolol and found 483!

[@adelinekeys6582]

What about bisoprolol?

[@carolwilliams6633]

I’m on this and blood thiners

[@erican177]

NSAIDs, alcohol, antidepressants, anti-arithmya meds.

[@Gadingy]

What about them?

[@stlintouch]

If you are on 25 mg per day of metoprolol is it ok to take a viagra like pill which you can get at an adult item store?

[@NorthsideKing-wm2ts]

Do this help you lose weight

[@PatCope]

What kind of reaction 7:29

[@allencarlson6128]

Instead of telling us what not to take with beta blockers, how about talking about the elephant in the room and tell us why we should not even be taking beta blockers in the first place.

[@henrykennedy1120]

Weed doe not lower blood pressure it raises it

[@nenadcubric2663]

Also donr Smoke or drink Coffe

[@nenadcubric2663]

It will raise your Blood sugar

[@gibbygordo]

Not for me

[@sherrybirchall8677]

I don't care about the bs about alcohol. A shot a day of any alcohol is not going to have an adverse reaction with metoprolol, and is also good medicine. I've been taking metoprolol for years and i have a cocktail or a shot two or three times a week, with no problems.

[@cheryljune1603]

I ask my dr, she said that it’s ok

[@wt9653]

You forgot magnesium and multivitamins 😊

[@kateskeys]

I love vasodilation properties.

[@angel_4153]

Ur telling me not to take aspirin with this? My doctor said it was okay to take aspirin just not at the same time

[@katielove9932]

Aspirin can damage the liver and from my experience, is not needed. Do research on it.

[@sjmac9737]

proof again - avoid taking all drugs

[@tominmtnvw]

Don't look for advice about medicine or health care on KZbin. Talk to your pharmacist and doctor.

[@doloreslasky]

You speak to fast for me to understand what you are talking about,.

[@jessereynez]

👍

[@edp4708]

If you take metoprolol and use marijuana, never combine those two with trynoassatol or you will lead a boring life.

[@bampsgamesmore6222]

Jhat ni samjhra bey😶

[@carolwilliams6633]

I use CBD.

[@OneOfThoseTypes]

I would never, EVER avoid marijuana.

[@Out_of_The_Furnace_2013Film]

Anyone have fear of death

[@leo.girardi]

Are you really pronouncing that correct? Think about it.

[@Relax9355]

THIS drug sucks I got off of it after 5 years!

[@gibbygordo]

Been on it for 1.5 years and contemplating stopping… did u start something else?

[@football24091]
