Metaprolol is a Beta-Blocker. It is not a blood thinner.
It works to inhibit part of the parasympathetic nervous system. It is generally used to treat such things as high blood pressure, fast heart rates, and to help the heart contract harder to put out more blood volume.
Some common "Blood Thinnners" are Heparin, Lovenox, Warfarin (Coumadin), and Pradaxa.
More information about Metaprolol can be found at the manufacturer's website.
