Metoprolol
This beta-blocker slows the heart rate and reduces the heart's workload by blocking the effects of adrenaline. It is prescribed for conditions such as high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, and heart failure.

Tacrolimus may mildly prolong the QT interval; metoprolol's bradycardic effect may compound this modestly, though clinically significant arrhythmia is uncommon at standard doses.
Diltiazem combined with metoprolol increases the risk of bradycardia and AV block through additive negative chronotropic and dromotropic effects.
Metoprolol adds to digoxin's rate-slowing effect at the AV node, increasing the risk of bradycardia and AV block in susceptible patients.
Beta-blockers such as metoprolol mask the adrenergic warning symptoms of hypoglycaemia (tachycardia, tremor) and may prolong hypoglycaemic episodes in insulin-treated patients.
Bupropion is a potent CYP2D6 inhibitor that substantially increases metoprolol plasma concentrations, potentially causing excessive beta-blockade (bradycardia, hypotension, heart block).
