Which companies make metoprolol?
Metoprolol is a widely used medicine, so it is made by many manufacturers—most commonly as generic drugs rather than one brand producer. Specific makers depend on the country and the exact product form (metoprolol tartrate vs metoprolol succinate).
How do you figure out the manufacturer for a specific metoprolol product?
To identify who makes your metoprolol, check the label or the “manufacturer” section on:
- the pharmacy bottle or blister pack
- the package insert (often lists the marketing authorization holder/manufacturer)
- the National Drug Code (NDC) for the exact product strength and dosage form (this is the quickest way to match to a specific manufacturer)
What’s the difference between who makes metoprolol tartrate vs metoprolol succinate?
Metoprolol tartrate and metoprolol succinate are different formulations, and the manufacturer can differ by formulation and strength because companies may choose to produce one formulation more than the other. Using the NDC (or your specific bottle label) avoids guessing.
Looking up metoprolol makers by drug and patent records

Are there well-known brand-name metoprolol products?
Some branded versions exist in various markets, but in many places metoprolol is primarily supplied as generics. The “who makes it” answer can change with the exact brand/generic and country.
Tell me your exact metoprolol and I’ll pinpoint the maker
If you share the metoprolol type (tartrate or succinate), strength (e.g., 25 mg), and whether it is ER/XL or immediate-release, plus your country (or the NDC number from your package), I can help you identify the manufacturer for that specific product.
