METOPROLOL tartrate may prolong hypoglycemic effect of insulin and should therefore be used with caution in diabetic patients especially those with labile diabetes. METOPROLOL tartrate therapy must be reported to the anaesthetist prior to general anaesthesia. Administration during the first trimester of pregnancy is not recommended.
