The [[tartrate]] is an immediate-release and the [[succinic acid|succinate]] is an extended-release [[Pharmaceutical formulation|formulation]].<ref>{{cite journal | author = Cupp M | title = Alternatives for Metoprolol Succinate | journal = Pharmacist's Letter / Prescriber's Letter | year = 2009 | volume = 25 | issue = 250302 | url = http://www.ncbop.org/PDF/MetoprololShortageMarch2009.pdf | format = pdf | accessdate = }}</ref>
