FAQ
What strengths and pack sizes does Zebeta come in?
Zebeta tablets come in 5mg and 10mg, in packs from 30 to 360 tablets depending on strength. It is generic bisoprolol, not the original Zebeta. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
How do I track my Zebeta order to Hong Kong?
Zebeta ships by tracked courier, taking 5 to 9 business days, and order tracking is on the tracking page. If a parcel does not arrive within the delivery window or arrives damaged, it is sent again free, or refunded if that is not possible.
Does Zebeta have other names?
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 also as bisoprolol tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.
How long does Zebeta take to work?
Readings usually start to fall within a few days, and the full effect builds over two to four weeks of daily tablets. Raised blood pressure gives no warning signs, so a home monitor or a clinic check is the only way to tell it is working.
Can I drink alcohol with Zebeta?
You can drink with Zebeta, but expect a bigger drop in blood pressure than alcohol alone would cause. A heavier evening can leave you dizzy or light-headed, especially on getting up from a chair, and the effect is sharper if you also take other blood pressure medicines.
Does bisoprolol affect blood sugar?
It does not change blood sugar levels by itself, but it can damp down the fast heartbeat and trembling that warn of a hypo, so a low reading is easier to miss. Sweating usually still happens as a signal.
Is Zebeta the same as bisoprolol?
Yes. The medicine inside is the same, so how it works and how often it is taken do not change. Zebeta is a brand name, while the other tablets carry the ingredient's own name. Pick whichever name is easier to find in the strength you take.
Can I take Zebeta with other blood pressure medicines?
Often, yes. Bisoprolol is regularly used alongside an ACE inhibitor or a diuretic, and their effects add together, so the pressure can fall further than on a single tablet. Adding a second medicine is one way a stubborn reading is brought down.
About Zebeta
What Zebeta tablets are for
Someone whose blood pressure turns up high at a routine check usually feels nothing, and Zebeta works in that same quiet way. It is bisoprolol in 5mg and 10mg tablets, a beta blocker that slows the heart and relaxes the blood vessels, acting mainly on the heart rather than the airways. That suits people who need steady control of heart rate and pressure, and bisoprolol also has a place in treating heart failure.
The routine is one tablet a day, and breakfast is a natural reminder, though a meal makes little difference. Readings drift down over the first few weeks and stay down only while the tablets continue. Stopping suddenly can make the heart race and chest pain worse, so the dose is stepped down. The pack is best kept away from heat and strong light.
Side effects and other medicines
Headache, dizziness, tiredness, weakness, nausea or diarrhoea, aching muscles and joints, a dry mouth and trouble sleeping are the complaints people mention most, and many settle as the body adjusts. Cold hands and feet can happen too.
Breathlessness, fainting or chest pain need urgent treatment. Swelling in the ankles, feet or hands, or weight that climbs for no clear reason, can point to fluid building up.
Alcohol and other blood pressure tablets both add to what bisoprolol does, so after a heavy night standing up quickly can bring on dizziness. Decongestants in cold and flu remedies can raise the heart rate again and work against the tablet.
Zebeta or Bisoprolol
Both contain bisoprolol in 5mg or 10mg tablets, taken once daily in the same way. Zebeta is the brand name, and Bisoprolol carries the ingredient's own name. Order whichever you prefer, and compare pack sizes if you plan to stay on it long term.
