Bisoprolol is a β-blocker that affects the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
Bisoprolol is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. Bisoprolol is also used to prevent chest pain caused by angina. It can be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medications.
High blood pressure is a common condition and when not treated, can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys and other parts of the body. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
β-blocker protects heart from too much activity. This medicine works by affecting the body’s response to some nerve impulses, especially in the heart. As a result, Bisoprolol slows down the heart rate and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood around the body.
The main side effects of bisoprolol are feeling dizzy or sick, headaches, cold hands or feet, constipation or diarrhea – these are usually mild and short-lived.
