Descriptions.

Metoprolol is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries.

What should I avoid while taking metoprolol?

Because metoprolol is a beta-blocker, a type of drug known to increase potassium levels in the blood, you might want to be mindful of potassium-rich foods like meat, bananas, and sweet potatoes.
