Bisoprolol

Q. Is Bisoprolol a diuretic?
No, Bisoprolol is not a diuretic. Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker medicine which works by blocking the hyperactivity of the nerve impulses in the heart. This relaxes the heart muscles and eventually calms the heart.
Q. Is Bisoprolol effective?
Bisoprolol is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Bisoprolol too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Q. What is the best time to take Bisoprolol?
Bisoprolol can be taken anytime in the morning or evening, usually prescribed once daily. However, your very first dose of Bisoprolol may make you feel dizzy, so it is better to take your first dose at bedtime. After that, if you do not feel dizzy, you may take it any time of the day. Follow the advice of your doctor. It is advised to take it at the same time each day so that you remember to take it and consistent levels of medicine are maintained in the body.

Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Bisoprolol?
If you have missed a dose of Bisoprolol, take it as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take it in the regular schedule instead of taking the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.
Q. How many hours does Bisoprolol take to reduce high blood pressure?
Bisoprolol starts showing its effect within 2 hours, but it can take up to 2 to 6 weeks to reach its full effect.

It's important to keep taking your medicine in the prescribed dose and duration to get the maximum benefit of Bisoprolol.
Q. What if I take more than the prescribed dose of Bisoprolol?
If you take more than the prescribed dose, your heart rate may slow down and you may find it difficult to breathe. It can also cause dizziness and trembling. It is advised to go to a hospital immediately, but do not drive yourself to avoid any mishap. Get someone else to drive you or call for an ambulance.

Q. Can Bisoprolol cause dizziness? How do I prevent it?
