toprol xl is an extended-release blood pressure medication. it is not uncommon for medications that have the enteric coating or protective surroundings to be excreted in the stool. this does not mean that your body did not absorb the medication. the active ingredient has been absorbed while the coating has passed through your digestive tract. the coating is what protects the medication so that it will last longer in the body and act over a longer period of time. as long as your blood pressure is being controlled and there is no interference with your colon i’d advise you to continue the therapy.
i’ve been taking generic toprol xl 50 mg and i’m excreting the medication still intact. is something wrong?
