Different forms of metoprolol
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns.
Toprol is an extended form of metoprolol succinate while metoprolol can be in two forms either metoprolol succinate or metoprolol tartarate. Toprolol has an extended action that lasts for 24 hours while metoprolol probably does not come in an extended release forms. If you have switched to metoprolol then you will need to take the medication more than once daily.
