carvedilol (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74–0.93). A potential important limitation to the COMET findings is that the degree of beta-blockade might not have been equivalent in the two treatment groups. The heart rate reduction for 100mgmetoprolol tartrate/day in COMET was only 11.7 beats per minute ...
Improvement in NYHA functional class with metoprolol CR/XL 200mg once daily (target dose) was significantly greater than that with placebo after 12 months in the MERIT-HF trial. Whereas significantly greater improvement in quality of life with metoprolol CR/XL than with placebo was evident using ...
Long-term studies in animals have been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of metoprolol tartrate. In 2-year studies in rats at three oral dosage levels of up to 800 mg/kg/day (41 times, on a mg/m2basis, the daily dose of 200 mg for a 60-kg patient), there was no inc...
