Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that Metoprolol tartrate twice daily 50-100 mg may be safely used in HD patients, but also Metoprolol hemisuccinate is a rational alternative as it may be used once daily (more extended release).

You should discuss with your attending doctor on the above-mentioned issues.

Hope to have been helpful to you!

In case of any further questions, feel free to ask me again.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
