What time of day should bisoprolol be taken? I have been taking it in the morning but often get ectopics at night and on waking.

Hello and welcome to the forum! Generally it is taken in the morning so it has its greatest effect during the day (result of half-life). Sometimes it is beneficial to split the dose between morning and evening - this may mean a increase in total daily dose. Have a word with your GP and do not try this without speaking to him first.
Thanks
I take at night but I posted a similar question about two weeks ago. Alot of people take it in the morning but some take at night to relieve tiredness
Mornings usually.
I take mine in the morning, I have ectopic most of the time, day and nights.
I take mine in the morning (2.5mg). I go through peaks and troughs of feeling lathargic but this week has been really good so far with little to no dips. I do tend to get ectopics towards the end of the day, not so much whilst in bed thankfully.
I've recently restarted a weight loss regime having put on > 1stone in the past 6 months as my cardiologist recommended I loss 1.5 stone. I've started eating a lot less processed foods and reduced food quantity in general, only eating something small in the evenings rather than a ready meal or something similar. I must admit my ectopics have reduced significantly to only a handful a day.
Apologies going off topic but I do think I'm very sensitive to MSG. The last AF attack I had that required cardioversion was the morning after having a chinese takeaway. Go figure.
Our GP stressed it's a morning pill. Not sure what the leaflet in the pack says though xxx
Take mine in morning.
Should be taken morning to do its job during the day when u are most active.
The Bisoprolol is at its most potent in your blood just 2hrs after taking then Then decrease as the day goes on, however if u miss a dose or stop taking it will remain to some extent in your system for 2-3 weeks.
Thanks
My EP said to take in the morning. Told me it can interfere with your sleeping and as I already have hot sweats to contend with, I can do without any more restrictions to a good nights sleep! Seems to suit me ok. Always take with breakfast.
