Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the metoprolol has rare side effect of dark urination and incontinence of urine in some of the cases.

Kindly discuss the same with his treating physician for further guidelines as prostate enlargement is a major concern with this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
