Bisoprolol

[Platypus6]

Hi

Is anyone taking an alternative to Bisoprolol? With out any side effects?

[PopjamQuinto]

Me! I’ve not noticed any side effects. I’m on a low dose to be fair. I was started on 1.25 then upped to 2.5. It’s helped to dull down my ectopics without having any side effects so I’m happy with it.

I would agree with popjams analysis. I am happy with it.

I had side effects from Bisoprolol, 1.25mg dose, really bad dry eye. GP switched me to Carvedilol and I’m fine with those.

Previously GP had tried to up my Bisoprolol dose aiming to reach the maximum, I refused as my HR was already well down and dropping into the 40’s overnight. I took advice from the BHF helpline before refusing.

That is interesting I have been recommended by the pharmacist to try Carvidilol, thanks for sharing this 😀

Switched to Carvedilol recently having experience dry eyes and constant nasal congestion on Bisoprolol

Hello

I did have side effects from Biso .. and now on carveldilol too... It's been fine even when they upped my dose recently, I've tolerated it well

Also on Carvedilol ( plus other usual drugs) and happy. I am in my 80s so am grateful that NHS is still happy to pay out for an old crock like me ! I feel this government might start to cull the old soon to balance the books !
