How Should Vitamin Supplements Be Taken While On Metoprolol?
I have a healthy heart and regular blood pressure. The cardiologist put me on Metoprolol ER 25 MG once in the morning to control a little bit of irregular heart beat. With such a low amount of the medication, is it necessary for me to wait a while before taking calcium and Vitamin D or any other supplements? Also, should I avoid orange juice and grapefruit juice?

Metoprolol is used to control the heart rate. You can take vitamin supplements and calcium even if you are on metoprolol. No drug interactions exist between vitamin supplements and metoprolol. You can also take fruit juices along with it.
