ZEBETA  (BISOPROLOL FUMARATE):  Bisoprolol is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body such as epinephrine on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.   FDA Approval Date: 1992-07-31 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  HBP, PVC's Started at 5.0 mg, then dropped to 2.5 mg. Very Slow HR, very tired, more PVC's (when exercising), low sex drive. Lowered my BP too much (90/60) from 150/90. My cardiologist change my RX. to Diovan 80/12.5mg, dropped the ZEBETA after 6 months. Went for a sleep apnea study, was RX. a CPAP machine. With the CPAP I'm sleeping much better and no more PVC's. My BP is at the 115/75 range most of the time. M 55 6 months

 5  High Blood Pressure Zebeta is a very good drug in controlling heart rate and blood pressure.... one day dosing and it last 24 hours... I would ask your doctor about zebeta because it's not a very widely used drug but it's a good one.... Works very well in controlling heart rate.... even at low doses... M 6 months

 5  Palpitations/now high bp None really except initially due to being put on 20 mg! Went down to 2.5 and now back up to 10mg due to high BP I think it's a wonderful drug as it has vey little side effects. In light of my high BP which is new for me, my dr. sees no reason to change due to the minimal side effects. The feedback I've gotten from MOST Drs/hospitals is that they have NEVER even heard of it! INCLUDING Cardioligists. Not sure why that is, but it's a shame. Get out there and ASK for it! *S* Could be VERY helpful to you. Additionally, it CAN mask high blood sugar so you should avoid taking it when testing for these types of things. I'm not sure if that's true for all beta-blockers. just a thought... F 42 8 years

 3  HBP, PVC's Started at 10mg, too strong BP from 150/100 to 90/60 (HR 44) very dizzy, and fatigue. Dopped to 5mg, felt dizzy. Now taking 2.5 mg daily. Feel better, still tired. BP 117/78,HR 60. Zebeta has controlled my PVC's in about 50%. I also take Diovan 80 mg (5 years in a row). M 50 2 days

 5  hypertension, arrhthymia Can't really tell. It's the best beta blocker I've ever been on. Doc says it's more cardio-specific, and doesn't make my legs feel heavy like older betas did. It works well for me, for prob. over 7 yrs. I also have rheum arthritis and connective tissue disease. Other older betas worsened my RA/conn. tiss. disease. F 54 7 days
