<< I don't know anything about metropolol. Why is that one better>>
I'm already taking Toprol XL, which is metropolol. It's considered to be better because it's a selective beta blocker, meaning it slows down your pulse without lowering your blood pressure significantly at the same time, as opposed to Coreg (carvedilol) which combines both an alpha blocker and a beta blocker, and lowers both your pulse and the blood pressure.
