Bisoprolol is a once-daily beta blocker tablet for high blood pressure and heart failure, sold here as plain bisoprolol or Zebeta in 5mg and 10mg.
Bisoprolol
5/10mg
Bisoprolol 5mg and 10mg tablets: a once-daily beta blocker that lowers high blood pressure and is also used in heart failure, in packs of 30 to 360.
Bisoprolol is a beta blocker. It blocks the effect of adrenaline and similar signals on the heart, so each beat is slower and less forceful, blood pressure comes down and the heart has less work to do. It is used for high blood pressure (hypertension) and also for heart failure, where the heart needs help to keep pumping well. High blood pressure usually causes no symptoms, so it tends to be found by a reading rather than by how you feel. Bisoprolol keeps the numbers down while you take it; it does not cure high blood pressure, and the effect fades if the tablets stop.
If you are comparing Bisoprolol with Zebeta, the tablets inside are the same ingredient, and each comes in 5mg and 10mg. What changes is the name printed on the pack. Zebeta is sold here for high blood pressure; plain bisoprolol is sold for heart failure as well. A 10mg tablet holds twice the medicine of a 5mg one, so you pick the strength that matches the dose you take. Both sit with the other medicines in Heart and Blood Pressure.
Say you take your first tablet on a Monday with breakfast. By the afternoon your pulse may be a little slower, but the home monitor will still show much the same numbers, and that is normal. Pressure eases over the following weeks. One tablet a day is the routine; morning or evening, with food or without, only the repetition matters.
While you adjust, expect some tiredness, dizziness, headache, weakness, cold hands and feet, nausea, diarrhoea, aching muscles or joints, a dry mouth, or trouble sleeping; most of these settle as the body gets used to the medicine. A slower pulse is expected; a pulse that feels far too slow, or fainting, is not. Shortness of breath, swelling of the hands, feet or ankles, unusual weight gain and chest pain are the serious effects.
Other medicines that slow the heart or lower blood pressure add to its effect — other beta blockers, and calcium channel blockers such as verapamil and diltiazem. Anti-inflammatory painkillers like ibuprofen can push blood pressure back up. In diabetes, bisoprolol can hide the early signs of low blood sugar, such as a racing heartbeat and shaky hands.
Bisoprolol can be ordered online with delivery to Hong Kong. Plain Bisoprolol tablets are listed in 5mg and 10mg, with the named version generic Zebeta at the same two strengths. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or American Express on a secure, encrypted payment page, or by Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Each of the two bisoprolol products has its own price per pack, shown on its page in HKD or your selected currency; larger packs usually cost less per unit.
PockDose does not ask you to upload a prescription when you order bisoprolol. See the ordering FAQ for details.
Zebeta is a brand name of bisoprolol, which is also sold as Bisocor, Cardicor, Concor and Corbis. Here, bisoprolol can be bought online as generic Zebeta and bisoprolol tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.
Yes, Zebeta is bisoprolol sold under a brand name. Whichever of the two you open, you get the same ingredient in a 5mg or 10mg tablet.
Hours for the pulse, weeks for the blood pressure. The heart rate eases first, while a lasting fall in pressure builds over several weeks of daily tablets. A low starting dose that is stepped up later also explains why early readings can disappoint.
Stopping suddenly can make blood pressure and heart rate rebound, and in heart failure it can make symptoms worse. Bisoprolol is normally withdrawn in steps over days or weeks, so the dose comes down gradually rather than in one go.
It can. Beta blockers make low blood sugar more likely for some people with diabetes and can hide the early warning signs, so a racing heartbeat and shaky hands may not appear as they usually would. Sweating is not masked, so it can still act as a clue.
