Metoprolol is a beta-blocker used to treat chest pain and high blood pressure. It works by blocking catecholamine-induced increases in heart rate, contraction, and blood pressure. Potential adverse reactions include chest pain, irregular heartbeat, extreme fatigue, swelling, and trouble breathing. When using metoprolol, nurses should monitor neonates and breastfed infants for signs of low heart rate or issues with breathing, digestion, or hydration.
