Before Changing a Dose (Dose badalne se pehle)

Dose increases are supervised because pulse, blood pressure and heart-failure symptoms can change. Report new dizziness or worsening breathlessness. Bisoprolol may mask some warning signs of low blood sugar. Tell the prescriber about pregnancy or breastfeeding before changing treatment.
