What it is

METOPROLOL SUCC ER 50 MG TAB is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as “metoprolol succinate” and “metoprolol succinate er tablets”, as its NDCs’ listings variously write the nonproprietary name.

FDA gives its dosage form as “tablet, film coated, extended release” and “tablet, extended release” and its route as oral.

FDA lists 17 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them Major Pharmaceuticals, Cranbury Pharmaceuticals, LLC and Camber Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

What to ask at the counter

None of these figures is your price: what you pay depends on your pharmacy, your insurance, coupons and discounts.

• What is your cash price for 30 tablets? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
• If you have Medicare Part D: what is my plan’s copay or coinsurance for it? The Part D average on this page is not what you pay.
• These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
