Bisoprolol
Beta blocker for blood pressure and heart failure
Bisoprolol slows the heart rate and lowers blood pressure. It is commonly used for high blood pressure and to support the heart in heart failure.
How the pharmacy helps
We stock 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg tablets. If your prescriber starts you on a low dose and steps up over weeks, we can prepare a labelled blister to help track the change.

A lower pulse is expected on a beta blocker. Tell your prescriber if it drops below 50 or you feel dizzy.
Some cold medicines (especially decongestants) can raise blood pressure. Ask the pharmacist before buying an OTC product.
Right. Stopping a beta blocker without tapering can cause heart symptoms. Talk to your prescriber if you want to discontinue.
