Bisoprolol is often prescribed for heart disease, however, the drug is not always found in pharmacies, and its price is quite high. Together with a cardiologist, we compiled a list of inexpensive and effective substitutes for Bisoprolol and discussed how and when to take them

Bisoprolol belongs to the group of selective beta-blockers and is used in cardiology for coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure. Often it is prescribed for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and hypertension.¹.

Bisoprolol reduces the risk of myocardial infarction and death in heart failure. The drug reduces the consumption of oxygen by the heart muscle, dilates the vessels that feed the heart, reduces the frequency of pain attacks and has a positive effect on the prognosis of the disease.².

Side effects when taking bisoprolol are quite rare. As a rule, they are associated with an incorrectly selected application scheme. Because of this, the patient can greatly reduce blood pressure and drop the pulse. Among other side effects: dizziness, headache, dyspepsia, stool disorders (constipation, diarrhea). The frequency of their occurrence does not exceed 10%.

Bisoprolol is prescribed with the utmost care to patients with bronchial asthma and atherosclerosis of the arteries of the lower extremities. In heart failure, the drug should be taken in minimal doses – 1,25 mg once a day.
