What is the difference between bisoprolol Normon and bisoprolol Furmarate?

I previously posted about buying bisoprolol in Spain. I’ve managed to buy bisoprolol at a pharmacy. It is called bisoprolol Normon rather than bisoprolol fumarate. I’ve looked at the patient information on both and they are pretty much the same. Does anyone know if there is a difference?

Normon is a Spanish pharma manufacturer, according to google.

Yeah, that’s what thought it’s just a manufacturing or brand name.

A quick search comes up with this pheniciagroup.com/products/...

Described as hemifumarate.....so possibly a bit different?

Thank you. I’ve still got two months supply that I brought with me from the UK via my GP. So plenty of time to work out if I can substitute one for the other.
