If I Switch From Metoprolol Succinate To Metoprolol Tartrate Within

Question: If I switch from Metoprolol Succinate to Metoprolol Tartrate within two days in between, could this harm my heart ?
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to harm
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Its unlikely to harm you if have taken it at appropriate frequency. Basically, if you are using tartarate then you should use it twice daily as it's a short acting form (equally divided doses), while succinate is available in long acting form so it should be taken once daily formulation.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
