Is myopathy a side effect of METOPROLOL TARTRATE ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of METOPROLOL TARTRATE patients who developed myopathy.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 46 individuals taking METOPROLOL TARTRATE reported myopathy to the FDA. A total of 29998 METOPROLOL TARTRATE drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

FDA Research Report

Introduction This page is designed to help you determine the relationship, if any, between METOPROLOL TARTRATE and myopathy. In doing so, we compare METOPROLOL TARTRATE with other drugs that cause myopathy, to help you evaluate whether or not METOPROLOL TARTRATE causes myopathy. Likewise, this page shows the most highly-reported side effects of METOPROLOL TARTRATE, so you can see if myopathy ranks among METOPROLOL TARTRATE's most well-known side effects.

CONCERN URINARY TRACT INFECTION	After several urinary tract infection I'm very disappointed my Dr. did not associate my illness with the medicine metoprolol tartrate he had prescribed me. After so many days & nights of suffering over a long period of time I decide to check for myself, sure enough I found my medicine may be helping with heart rate but making me sick also. So concerned I just had cat scan of kidneys & bladder! I was already aware that we have to take our health into our own hands, but even more so now I'm convinced Dr. can't keep up or doesn't continue with constant update of side effects of medicines. Medicine for urinary tract infection makes me so weak I don't feel like living. I'm very concerned for myself as well as others, something needs to be done about all of the side effects of medicine and Drs. not having a bell go off when he is prescribing you medicine that is having side effects that is making a person very sick! What is going on, time for someone to wake-up!!!!	2016-03-29 01:18:30
