Tapering a time-released medication

Posted , 2 users are following.

Metoprolol Succinate is a time-released version of Metoprolol Tartrate. You're not supposed to cut or crush time-released medications because it can release too much of the drug into the body at one time. You should always check with your doctor on how to deal with tapering off drugs.
