Zebeta (Bisoprolol) Dosage and Side Effects

ZEBETA is used to treat high blood pressure and is also sometimes used to treat heart failure. ZEBETA belongs to a class of drugs called beta-blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels, slowing the heart rate, and decreasing the heart's contractility.

Warnings and Precautions

Before taking ZEBETA, tell your doctor if you have, or have ever had:

  • A lung disease, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema

  • Circulation problems
  • An overactive thyroid
  • Liver disease
  • Kidney disease
  • Diabetes
  • A mental illness, such as depression
  • Allergies

If you suffer from allergies, you should know that ZEBETA may worsen your allergic reactions. Talk to your doctor if this is a concern for you.

If you have diabetes, ZEBETA may make it more difficult to recognize symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). Discuss this potential effect with your doctor.

Your doctor will want to monitor your condition closely while you take ZEBETA. Keep all appointments with your doctor's office and laboratory.

Your doctor may tell you to adopt certain diet and lifestyle changes while taking ZEBETA. Follow these instructions carefully.

ZEBETA helps control high blood pressure, but it won't cure the condition. Continue to take the medicine even if you feel well.

Don't stop taking ZEBETA without first talking to your doctor. Your doctor might want to take you off the drug gradually, by reducing your dose a little bit at a time.
