2. **Metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL)**: Frequently prescribed for hypertension, heart failure, and after heart attacks.
3. **Propranolol (Inderal)**: Used for anxiety, migraines, and high blood pressure.
4. **Carvedilol (Coreg)**: Commonly prescribed for heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction.
5. **Bisoprolol (Zebeta)**: Often used for hypertension and heart failure.
Ultimately, the choice of beta blocker and dosage should be made by a healthcare provider, who will consider the specific health profile and conditions of the patient. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting or changing any medication.
