Bisoprolol is a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It lowers heart rate and reduces the force of heart contraction, thereby decreasing cardiac workload and blood pressure.

Take as directed by the physician, usually once daily at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; swallow tablet with water. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
