Lopressor tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension. They may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

Lopressor is indicated in the long-term treatment of angina pectoris.

Lopressor ampuls and tablets are indicated in the treatment of hemodynamically stable patients with definite or suspected acute myocardial infarction to reduce cardiovascular mortality. Treatment with intravenous Lopressor can be initiated as soon as the patient’s clinical condition allows (see Dosage and Administration, Contraindications, and Warnings).

Alternatively, treatment can begin within 3-10 days of the acute event (see Dosage and Administration).^[1]
