How to stop beta blockers gradually. I consumed embeta xr 50 for 10 days. I asked from a doctor to stop then he suggested that take embeta xr 25 alternate days ie 10 tablet in 20 days. I want to know that whether this is right method to stop or not. Should I use embeta xr 12.5 mg or abruptly stop it as above mentioned. I was taking this medicine for mild chest pain. Ecg was sinus rhythm border line ecg inferior and anterior t wave abnormality is non specific.
