Can Alcohol Be Taken While Taking Metoprolol For Heart Palpitations?
I am currently taking metoprolol tartarate for heart palpitations and was wondering if I can drink alcohol while taking the drug? I ve had a whole work up done from a 30 day monitor and ultrasound done on my heart and my doctor thinks it is from anxiety. I m taking 25 mg split half in morning and the other at night. I m a 26 year old female and take 40mg of buspar also for anxiety.

Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.
From the available description it appears that your heart is healthy. There is no harm in taking moderate amount of alcohol while taking metoprolol. But the rule of moderate drinking should be kept in mind before thinking to take alcohol.
If you are pregnant than it is not advisable to take alcohol.
