==Overview== | |||
[[Lopressor injection]] is a anti-[[angina|anginal]], [[antiarrhythmic]], [[beta-adrenergic blocker]] drug that is FDA approved for the treatment of [[acute myocardial infarction|acute myocardial infarction (AMI)]]. Common adverse reactions include [[bradyarrhythmia]], [[constipation]], [[depression]], [[diarrhea]], [[dizziness]], [[dyspnea]], [[fatigue]], [[headache]], [[heart block]], [[heart failure]], [[hypotension]], [[indigestion]], [[nausea]], [[pruritus]], [[rash]], and [[wheezing]]. | |||
==Adult Indications and Dosage== | |||
===FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)=== | |||
=====Acute Myocaridal Infarction===== | |||
* Dosing Information | |||
:* Upon patient presentation: [[Lopressor injection]] 5 mg IV x 3 boluses at 2-min intervals | |||
:* 15 minutes after the full IV dose: [[Lopressor tablet]] 50 mg PO q6h for 2 days followed by [[Lopressor tablet]] 100 mg PO q12h (or ''[[Lopressor tablet]]'' 25—50 mg PO q6h for 2 days if intolerable to the full IV dose; discontinue [[Lopressor]] in patients with severe intolerance.) | |||
[[Lopressor injection]] is indicated in the treatment of [[hemodynamics|hemodynamically]] stable patients with definite or suspected [[acute myocardial infarction]] to reduce cardiovascular [[mortality]] when used in conjunction with [[Lopressor tablet|oral Lopressor]] maintenance therapy. Treatment with [[Lopressor injection]] can be initiated as soon as the patient’s clinical condition allows. | |||
Early Treatment: During the early phase of definite or suspected [[acute myocardial infarction]], initiate treatment with [[Lopressor injection]] as soon as possible after the patient’s arrival in the hospital. Such treatment should be initiated in a coronary care or similar unit immediately after the patient’s [[hemodynamic]] condition has stabilized. Begin treatment in this early phase with the [[intravenous]] administration of three bolus injections of 5 mg of [[Lopressor injection]] each; give the injections at approximately 2-minute intervals. During the [[intravenous]] administration of [[Lopressor]], monitor [[blood pressure]], [[heart rate]], and [[electrocardiogram]]. | |||
In patients who tolerate the full [[intravenous]] dose (15 mg), initiate [[Lopressor tablet]]s, 50 mg every 6 hours, 15 minutes after the last [[intravenous]] dose and continue for 48 hours. Thereafter, the maintenance dosage is 100 mg orally twice daily. Start patients who appear not to tolerate the full [[intravenous]] dose on [[Lopressor tablet]]s either 25 mg or 50 mg every 6 hours (depending on the degree of intolerance) 15 minutes after the last intravenous dose or as soon as their clinical condition allows. In patients with severe intolerance, discontinue Lopressor (see ''[[Lopressor injection#Warnings|Warnings]]'').<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web | last = | first = | title = LOPRESSOR (METOPROLOL TARTRATE) INJECTION, SOLUTION [NOVARTIS PHARMACEUTICALS CORPORATION] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=6640cc61-edee-4808-a26f-cbc2c0b7af86#nlm34067-9 | publisher = | date = | accessdate = }}</ref> | |||

Black Box Warning
FDA Package Insert for Lopressor injection contains no information regarding Black Box Warning.
Overview
Lopressor injection is a anti-anginal, antiarrhythmic, beta-adrenergic blocker drug that is FDA approved for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Common adverse reactions include bradyarrhythmia, constipation, depression, diarrhea, dizziness, dyspnea, fatigue, headache, heart block, heart failure, hypotension, indigestion, nausea, pruritus, rash, and wheezing.
Adult Indications and Dosage
FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)
Acute Myocaridal Infarction
- Dosing Information
- Upon patient presentation: Lopressor injection 5 mg IV x 3 boluses at 2-min intervals
- 15 minutes after the full IV dose: Lopressor tablet 50 mg PO q6h for 2 days followed by Lopressor tablet 100 mg PO q12h (or Lopressor tablet 25—50 mg PO q6h for 2 days if intolerable to the full IV dose; discontinue Lopressor in patients with severe intolerance.)
Lopressor injection is indicated in the treatment of hemodynamically stable patients with definite or suspected acute myocardial infarction to reduce cardiovascular mortality when used in conjunction with oral Lopressor maintenance therapy. Treatment with Lopressor injection can be initiated as soon as the patient’s clinical condition allows.
Early Treatment: During the early phase of definite or suspected acute myocardial infarction, initiate treatment with Lopressor injection as soon as possible after the patient’s arrival in the hospital. Such treatment should be initiated in a coronary care or similar unit immediately after the patient’s hemodynamic condition has stabilized. Begin treatment in this early phase with the intravenous administration of three bolus injections of 5 mg of Lopressor injection each; give the injections at approximately 2-minute intervals. During the intravenous administration of Lopressor, monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and electrocardiogram.
In patients who tolerate the full intravenous dose (15 mg), initiate Lopressor tablets, 50 mg every 6 hours, 15 minutes after the last intravenous dose and continue for 48 hours. Thereafter, the maintenance dosage is 100 mg orally twice daily. Start patients who appear not to tolerate the full intravenous dose on Lopressor tablets either 25 mg or 50 mg every 6 hours (depending on the degree of intolerance) 15 minutes after the last intravenous dose or as soon as their clinical condition allows. In patients with severe intolerance, discontinue Lopressor (see Warnings).[1]
Off-Label Use and Dosage (Adult)
Guideline-Supported Use
Atrial Fibrillation, Rate Control
- Developed by: American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA)
- Class of Recommendation: Class I
- Level of Evidence: Level B
- Dosing Information
- Acute Setting: Lopressor injection 2.5—5 mg IV bolus over 2 min; up to 3 doses[2]
In the absence of preexcitation, intravenous administration of beta blockers (esmolol, metoprolol, or propranolol) or nondihydropyridine calcium channel antagonists (verapamil, diltiazem) is recommended to slow the ventricular response to atrial fibrillation in the acute setting, exercising caution in patients with hypotension or heart failure.[3]
Non–Guideline-Supported Use
Atrial flutter
- Dosing Information
- Lopressor injection dose range: 2—15 mg[4]
Multifocal atrial tachycardia
- Dosing Information
- Lopressor injection dose range: 2—15 mg[4]
Supraventricular tachycardia
- Dosing Information
- Lopressor injection dose range: 2—15 mg[4]
Injection Site Pain Associated with Propofol Use
- Dosing Information
- Pretreatment with Lopressor injection 2 mg.[5]
