Bisoprolol I have read can be the cause of what some GPs refer to as " Old Man's Drip "

Merry Christmas

Hi sanpedro lovely to hear from you, hope you're doing ok apart from the runny nose.

And the answer to your question is an absolute yes! Kevin's nose is constantly running, I think his bisoprolol is the culprit!

Nice to hear from you Sanpedro. Is the runny nose recent? If so I suggest you do a lateral flow test. Bisoprolol didn’t cause me to have a runny nose but I had to stop taking it because of breathlessness. Maybe it’s the weather. Take care

Thank you mine is every day .It just starts for no reason .Am monitoring every day and on my next phone back will see what happens I will check about the text and thanks again Merry Christmas 🤶

Dear Sanpedro2019

Bisoprolol is the culprit to my runny nose, but what’s a wipe every now and then compared to the good the drug is doing for me.

Take care

I thought it was the 10mg Ramipril that caused mine. Constantly have to blow my nose, but I do also take 1.25mg Bisoprolol, Edoxaban and Atorvastatin.

Agree with Maisie. If its recent, best get tested. Unfortunately this seems to be a symptom of covid. A colleague of mine had no other symptom than a (really persistent) runny nose!I had breathlessness with bisoprolol and a cough but no nose issues. But always worth checking out re medication side effects.

Hope you get sorted!

I too get a runny nose, but rather that than coming off the meds. I also think it’s the Bisoprolol and maybe the Atorvastatin. Drives me to distraction at times, especially when in company. I must be one of Kleenex’s most loyal customers. The extra large twin-pack Big Tissue small boxes are not to be sniffed at. Good luck and take care.

Thanks I have no intension coming of my medication but found out of 6 Beta Blockers one doesn't have that side affects .I must be second tissue user and wouldn't sniff at it .Merry Christmas

When I stopped bisoprosol and ramipril, my running nose, blocked ears and breathless all went away. Worth a discussion with your GP / cardio team anyway.
