Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Metoprolol can only be used during pregnancy (especially during the last three months) if the treating physician has made a specific assessment of the benefits and risks of the treatment. Metoprolol crosses the placenta and impairs its blood circulation, which can harm the fetus. Treatment with metoprolol should be discontinued 48-72 hours before the expected delivery. If this is not possible, the newborn should be closely observed for 48-72 hours after birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Metoprolol\u00a0is excreted in human milk.\u00a0Side effects\u00a0are not expected to occur during treatment with\u00a0therapeutic doses.\u00a0However, breastfed infants should be observed for possible\u00a0side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDriving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
