Short answer: Yes, if you already take metoprolol and you're physically in Florida. For $39, Nicholas Atudonyang, MD, a physician with Florida telehealth registration TPME8031, reviews which form you take (tartrate or succinate), the dose, why it was prescribed, your heart rate and blood pressure. If continuing is safe, the prescription goes to the Florida pharmacy you choose. Stopping a beta-blocker suddenly can trigger chest pain or a dangerous heart rhythm, so ask your pharmacist about an emergency supply if you're out today.

About Metoprolol

Metoprolol is a beta-blocker. Metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor) is usually taken twice a day; metoprolol succinate extended-release (Toprol-XL) once a day. It's prescribed for high blood pressure, chest pain, heart rhythm problems such as atrial fibrillation, after a heart attack and for heart failure.

What the physician reviews before refilling

The exact form and dose on your label: tartrate and succinate are not interchangeable without new directions
Why it was prescribed, and who follows you for heart conditions
Your resting heart rate and blood pressure
Dizziness, tiredness, shortness of breath or new swelling
Asthma or COPD
Diabetes: beta-blockers can hide the shakiness and racing heart of low blood sugar

Safety points

The label carries a boxed warning: stopping suddenly can cause severe chest pain, a heart attack or an irregular heartbeat, especially with heart disease. That's why it's worth keeping your supply.
A heart rate below about 50 with dizziness or fainting needs prompt care.
If you take it for heart failure or atrial fibrillation, dose changes belong with your cardiologist or primary clinician.

Call 911 for chest pain, fainting, or sudden severe shortness of breath.

Florida tips

If you run out, a Florida pharmacist may be able to give a one-time emergency supply of up to 72 hours when your prescriber can't be reached. See ran out of medication in Florida.
Metoprolol is a medicine to pack first in a hurricane evacuation. Keep a two-week supply and your label photo with your kit.

Cost

The $39 covers the physician review. You pay for metoprolol separately at your pharmacy. Generic versions are usually much cheaper than brand names; ask for the cash price or use a free discount card. We don't bill insurance, but your pharmacy can run the prescription through your own plan.

Questions about Metoprolol

Can I just stop metoprolol if I run out?

Please don't. Stopping a beta-blocker suddenly can cause rebound high blood pressure, chest pain or rhythm problems. Call your pharmacy about an emergency supply and request a refill review.

What's the difference between metoprolol tartrate and succinate?

Tartrate is short-acting and usually taken twice a day; succinate ER is long-acting and taken once a day. The milligram amounts and schedules aren't swapped one-for-one, so tell us exactly what your label says.

Do you manage atrial fibrillation online?

We can review a refill of metoprolol you already take for atrial fibrillation, but rhythm management, dose changes and blood thinners belong with your cardiologist or primary clinician. Blood thinners need a conversation before paying.
