Women are started on a lower daily dose of metoprolol than men irrespective of dose recommendations.
Abstract
Current guidelines have no sex-specific dosage advice for metoprolol. To evaluate whether women and men are prescribed the same dose a cohort analysis was performed in the population-based Rotterdam Study (RS). Results were replicated in the Integrated Primary Care Information (IPCI) database of automated general practice data.
