Hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic stable angina (chest pain), chronic heart failure (as prescribed)

Bisoprolol is a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It reduces heart rate and force of contraction, lowering blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand and helping control angina and heart failure symptoms.

Oral tablet; take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time. Can be taken with or without food. Do not stop suddenly; dose tapering may be needed.

Bradycardia (slow pulse), dizziness, fatigue, headache, cold hands/feet, low blood pressure, nausea, sleep disturbances

Prescription medicine. Use with caution in asthma/COPD, diabetes (may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), peripheral vascular disease, thyroid disorders, kidney or liver impairment, and in the elderly. Contraindicated in severe bradycardia, cardiogenic shock, uncompensated heart failure, severe hypotension, and certain heart conduction disorders unless advised by a doctor. Do not stop abruptly as it may worsen angina or cause rebound hypertension.

Verapamil, diltiazem, amiodarone, digoxin (increased risk of bradycardia/heart block), clonidine (rebound hypertension on withdrawal), other antihypertensives/diuretics (additive BP lowering), insulin/oral antidiabetics (masks hypoglycaemia), NSAIDs (may reduce antihypertensive effect), beta-agonist bronchodilators (reduced effect), alcohol (additive dizziness)
