Is Metoprolol Tartrate The Same As Metoprolol ER?
First, I have no insurance... I am currently taking METOPROLOL ER 100MG TAB one time per day. As I am looking over the Walmart $4 prescriptions I noticed that they list Metoprolol Tartrate 100mg. Are these the same and could I ask my doctor for the cheaper one instead?

But sill you can ask your doctor for cheaper ones.There are brands with less cost.
