When to see a doctor urgently

Not a prescription — no dose shown. The right dose of bisoprolol depends on age, weight, kidney/liver function and the condition, so MedDroid does not show a dose here. Always get your dose from a doctor or pharmacist and the leaflet inside the pack. General educational information only.

Frequently asked questions

Can I stop a beta-blocker suddenly?

No — stopping abruptly can cause a rebound rise in heart rate and blood pressure. Any change should be gradual and doctor-guided.

Why do beta-blockers cause tiredness?

By slowing the heart they can reduce energy at first; this often settles. Tell your doctor if it persists.
