I had done the same before. Called my cardiologist office and they told me not to worry and I can take it again 12 hours later to get back on schedule.

So did you take two on the same day? I only normally take once a day ?

Bisoprlol 2.5 once a day not concerned just annoyed at myself as guess as it’s such a low dose, I was sorting out my box !

That's quite a low dose, so you should be fine but may feel a little slower in your actions.

Yep thought that might be the case and today I am hoping to get the house clean! Never mind I will take it slow.

Thank you Jean wishing you a Happy Healthy 2020 xx

Hi jeanjeannie50. I reduced my Bisoprolol dosage to get faster. I am now like a whippet over 5 yards! TerryW

I always take my beta blocker in the morning when I get up with my BP meds and pain killers......I also take my anticoagulant with my breakfast.
