CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Metoprolol is a beta
-selective (cardioselective) adrenergic receptor blocker. This
preferential effect
is not absolute, however, and at higher plasma concentrations,
metoprolol also inhibits beta
adrenoreceptors, chiefly located in the bronchial and vascular
musculature.
Clinical pharmacology studies have demonstrated the beta-blocking
activity of metoprolol, as shown by
(1) reduction in heart rate and cardiac output at rest and upon
exercise, (2) reduction of systolic blood
pressure upon exercise, (3) inhibition of isoproterenol-induced
tachycardia, and (4) reduction of reflex
orthostatic tachycardia.
