Can a rash & Itching be a result of taking metoprolol.Is it possible this can happen after 14 yrs? I have been on metoprolol for about 14 years for high blood pressure. I had to get my meds from another pharmacy that uses a different manufacturer then the one i was using. I notice a terrible rash and extreme itching . I am wondering if it is from the difference in color of the pills.and maybe some ingredients in it. Please help me out.

hammy replied: "although a body can become allergic to medications at any time no matter how long youve taken them, i see a possible issue here. you can call the pharmacist and ask him/her about your meds and please contact your doctor. some allergic reactions can be fatal. dont procrastinate on this one. i hope everything will be ok with you. but jump on this issue and fast."

tickdhero replied: "It can most certaninly be an allergic reaction to the dye or preservatives that are used in the manfacturing of the medication. The classic example is an allergy to certain dyes used in different brands of benadryl (diphenhydramine). You physician can write a precription for a specific brand of metoprolol and mark it "BRAND MEDICALLY NECESSARY". Please contact him or her ASAP to review your medication and eliminate the possiblity of environmental allergens, or some other medical condition."

damommyxx replied: "yes call your pharmacy and doctor have you used any new soaps etc laundry and bar soaps that are new can cause that too but if the only new thing in our life is the med than stop taking it and if you experience any shortness of breath get to the hospital also dryer sheets can cause rash and itching"

Rickydotcom replied: "Allergic reactions can occur at anytime, even after 14 years. However, alarm bells went off when you mentioned "color change." You should contact the pharmacy immediately and verify that the color of the pill should be different. There are a number of different generic companies that make metoprolol, so verify that's the case. If no dispensing error has been made, speak to your doctor and to the pharmacy manager. Explain that you did fine before the generic switch. I have a couple of patients that I stock specific generics for them for this same reason. As others have mentioned, there can be other reasons for a sudden allergic reaction, anything from a new laundry detergent or a new perfume. But rule out the medication first. By the way, if the pharmacist or his/her boss doesn't want to special order a product for you, contact the district pharmacy manager (if a chain store) or find a new pharmacy. I'll special order anything to keep a patient happy - and healthy. Be well. I hope this helps. Rick the Pharmacist"

metoprolol side effect? I have been on 25mg of metoprolol xl with no problems for over 2 years now. About 3 weeks ago the pharmacy changed my usual metoprolol manufacturer to a different manufacturer. Since then I haven't been feeling so good. Sometimes my heart will feel like its racing and I feel really tired and run down. I sometimes check my blood pressure at home and it usually runs 105/60 sometimes a little higher and sometimes a little lower. I take my medication in the late evening and last night I decided not to take my metoprolol and today for the first time in a long time I felt really good! No racing heartbeat and I actually had energy. I haven't seen my regular doctor yet, but I was thinking that maybe this different brand could be making me feel like this. But is it even possible?

lilly of the valley † replied: "For those who are taking metoprolol, side effects may occur, including nausea, tiredness, shortness of breath, or slow heart rate. Other less common side effects that are reported in less than 1 percent of patients include increased liver enzymes, weight gain, and dry eyes. Metoprolol side effects are generally considered minor and do not require medical attention, but if you experience serious problems such as irregular heartbeat or chest pain, be sure to notify your healthcare provider immediately."

REnate replied: "Call the pharmacy and tell them what is happening; also call your doctor. If they gave you a generic something may be wrong with the tablets. My husband takes it too and he has never had these problems."

Robert N replied: "i am on it also no itch as of yet allergy season is here few tick bites they itch"

Lea replied: "Some people are allergic to specific inactives or dyes. Rash/itching is not a side effect for metoprolol."
