Has anyone here ever heard of anemia being associated with Toprol? Since they increased the dosage of my husband's Toprol, he has developed anemia and they cannot find a cause but every time I ask about the possibility that it could be the meds causing it (he is on coumadin, too), no one will firmly say no - always a "could be" - so just wondering if anyone else has had this experience. Thanks!

Have not heard of that with Torpol. What about the coumadin? Have they done a stool test? Blood thinners can cause tumors to bleed. Do not want to scare you. My dad became anemic on Plavix, and it turned out he had stomach cancer, and the Plavix caused the tumor to bleed and they were able to catch it early. Same thing with aspirin---it can cause colon tumors to bleed--thus catching it early.
