Bisoprolol and Psoriasis

I have had psoriasis for over 40 years, sometimes mild but more often really bad. I have been hospitalised with it. And have had numerous sun treatments for it.

In 2016 I was started on Bisoprolol and had the dose increased last year.

I read several reports that psoriasis gets worse when taking Bisoprolol but I have to report the opposite.

After my Angiogram last January I had a stroke followed by a bypass last June, all in all a very stressful year. My psoriasis should have been off the chart but I’m pleased to report that it has remained just mild the whole time it just shows that we are not all the same when it comes to side effects.

My bisoprolol insert says no more, skin related, than it can cause mild itching but this is rare. Apart from the NHS website and the inserts I tend to ignore Dr Google as far too many people try to relate unconnected symptoms to their last prescribed drug!

I get the itching. I sometimes think I have insects on me but then remember that it's a side effect.
