Dosage Guide

Quick Answer

The standard dose of Concor Tablet (Bisoprolol Fumarate 5mg) for hypertension and stable angina is 5mg once daily in the morning. The dose may be titrated to 10mg once daily if needed. In chronic heart failure, the starting dose is much lower (1.25mg) and must be titrated slowly under specialist supervision. Never stop Concor suddenly — always taper under your doctor's guidance.

Take as soon as remembered on the same day. If your next dose is close, skip the missed dose and continue normally. Do not double dose. Never stop abruptly.

CRITICAL: Never Stop Concor Suddenly

Abrupt withdrawal of bisoprolol causes:
