It is a prescription medicine to be taken by mouth 1-2 times a day. You should take it with meals or immediately after meals. Take your medicine at roughly the same time every day. You can split the Toprol XL tablet. Swallow the full or half tablet whole - do not crush or chew it.

Carefully follow the instructions on the prescription label. Take Toprol XL exactly as advised. Do not take a higher or lower dose of this medicine or take it more or less frequently than prescribed.

It takes around one week for the full effects of Toprol XL to develop. This medication will control your blood pressure and prevent chest pain, but it will not cure these conditions. Continue taking Toprol XL even if you feel well. Do not stop taking the medicine without talking to your doctor first. 

Missed dose: If you forget to take a dose of Toprol XL, take it when you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take an extra dose to make up for the missed dose.

Storage: Store Toprol XL at room temperature (between 15-30° C or 59-86° F) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in a tightly closed container. Keep all medications in a safe place out of reach of children and pets.
