Reviews for Bisoprolol

"At first, I was thrilled with the pills: they calmed the pulse, reduced fatigue, and I felt great. However, after two years of use, I realized that I was gaining weight, that I did not have the will to train, that I was actually getting tired very quickly without my heart rate exceeding 60 beats. I gradually stopped taking the pills and only then realized how sleepy and slow I was. I do not recommend this medicine to anyone, there may be better ones."

"I am on Bisoprolol for 6 weeks. The current dose suits me 2.5 in the morning and 2.5 in the evening. I had many missing beats but now they have been dramatically reduced. This is a good medication because I used to take same dose of ivabradine and it reduced my heart rate to 40. I recommend this drug in 2 small doses of 2.5 each."

"I had angioplasty couple of years back. Initially was prescribed 5 mg but now reduced to 2.5mg. It made my heartbeat in the region of 55 to 60. It makes you feel tired always. I want to give it up for a few days to check if tiredness reduces"

"I was first on metoprolol 25mg succinate for POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and it worked well but made me gain 14 pounds in about 2 months, despite eating healthy and exercising. Bisoprolol 5mg furmate is what I was switched to, I take 1/4 every 6 hours and it works well, I do think it contributes to my shortness of breath but it’s manageable & not everyday. I haven’t noticed weight gain I’ve lost 4 pounds while on it so that’s good. Overall I’m happy with it, I just hope I can stay at this dose and it still be effective for me as time goes on."

"Been on 3.75mg for two years. Recently I am feeling very very lightheaded and have had to lie down all day. I will try decreasing the dosage to 2.5 mg now to see if it helps my blood pressure and make my heartbeat normal."

"I have been on bisoprolol for almost 2 weeks and I have done well. I love the 1 pill of 5mg a day. I was on carvedilol but dreaded the evening dose. This has worked out good so far."
