Precautions (Ehtiyaat)

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.

  • Do not stop bisoprolol abruptly; any reduction must be supervised.
  • Tell the prescriber about asthma, slow pulse, low blood pressure, diabetes, circulation problems, or kidney and liver disease.
  • Do not use someone else’s prescription or a dose copied from another bisoprolol brand.

Medicines to Check (Doosri dawaein)

The prescriber must check other heart or blood-pressure medicines, including verapamil, diltiazem, clonidine and antiarrhythmics. Also disclose glaucoma eye drops, ibuprofen, diabetes medicines and decongestants.

Reporting a Reaction (Reaction ki report)

Ask a pharmacist how to report a suspected adverse reaction to DRAP. Keep the pack, batch number and a note of when symptoms began. Reporting does not replace medical assessment.
