Zebeta 2.5 mg

Zebeta is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
Zebeta is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).

How to use:
Take Zebeta exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts or for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Take this medication with a full glass of water. Take Zebeta at the same time every day. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from Zebeta.
Do not skip doses or stop taking Zebeta without first talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse or cause other serious heart problems. To be sure Zebeta is helping your condition, your blood pressure will need to be checked on a regular basis. Do not miss any scheduled appointments. If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using bisoprolol.

Zebeta is only part of a complete program of treatment for hypertension that may also include diet, exercise, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely if you are being treated for hypertension. Keep using this medicine as directed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
