About this active substance

Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker medication used to treat high blood pressure, angina pectoris, and stable chronic heart failure. It works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, reducing heart rate, blood pressure, and the heart's oxygen demand, which helps protect the heart and prevent cardiovascular complications.

It is taken orally in tablet form, with the dosage adjusted based on the condition being treated and the patient's response. Bisoprolol treatment should be started and stopped gradually under medical supervision to avoid adverse effects.

Side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, bradycardia (slow heart rate), cold hands and feet, nausea, or sleep disturbances. It is contraindicated in patients with severe bradycardia, decompensated heart failure, cardiogenic shock, or severe asthma.
