Metoprolol is a drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease. It belongs to the beta-blocker class of drugs, which lower blood pressure by slowing the heart rate and reducing the workload on the heart.

The drug Metoprolol should be used with caution during pregnancy. Metoprolol is an anti-cardiac drug that may affect the fetus when used. During pregnancy, it is recommended that women consult their doctor before using this drug and use it strictly as directed. It is understood that metoprolol enters the fetus through the placenta and may cause potential risks to the heart health of the fetus. If a pregnant woman with heart problems must use metoprolol, the dosage and duration of use should be minimized to reduce potential harm to the fetus. Your doctor's advice should be followed closely and you should have regular checkups to ensure safety during pregnancy. In summary, metoprolol use during pregnancy must be treated with caution to protect the health of the mother and fetus.
