Question
What side effects should be expected if a one-year-old child accidentally ingests half a tablet of metoprolol succinate?

Metoprolol succinate is primarily used to treat hypertension, angina, and has the effect of slowing heart rate. For a one-year-old child, this dosage may be too high. It is recommended to observe for any other symptoms and seek medical attention immediately if there is discomfort.
