I love this medicine. I took Toprol XL for a while, but it did not lower my systolic pressure. My doc switched me to Bisoprolol and my bp loved it. It's effective, easy to use but unfortunately, caused me to break out in white spots all over my dark colored legs and arms. I was recently diagnosed with a medication eruption from the Hydrochlorothiazide component of the medicine. My meds have now be...

Tried others but this is the most effective, with no side-effects. Works well, and I have been taking it for almost 20 years!!!

After just over 1 year of use my BP was lowered, GREAT. But I realized just today that Rx has caused EXTREME HAIR LOST. For 17 yrs my hair is all natural locks. But then I noticed hair lost increase about 7 months ago. When I shampoo or groom shedding increased. I had to CUT have of my locks off last night due to WORSEN CONDITION OF HAIR LOST, I will eventually have to cut it ALL OFF because of BISOPROLOL-HCTZ side effect. 2/10/2018

apparently somethings not right since my father has had such ongoing health problems and natural healing seems healthier, cheaper and easier with faster results. my family knows this from personal experiances thru generations

Has helped with my High Blood Pressure which was out of control running 190/130. Not great for me for water retention. Had to have another medication added. But, blood pressure is much better. No real side effects. Just the first week getting used to the medication. Happy with it.

I only took this medication for one week.Seems to lower my blood pressure ok. Began whezzing and had dry cough within two days. I had dizziness,confusion,muscle cramps and twitches also,all of which became worse the longer I took it. Stop taking it a week ago and all went away except wheezing and dry cough which is still getting better.

This medication is easy to swallow, can be taken with food and other medicines. Lowers my pressure without any bothersome side effects. For these reasons I have been able to take it faithfully everyday, and continue to enjoy my life without the worry of my high blood pressure causing me irreversible damage to my health.

I have been taking a small (5mg) dosage for moderate hbp. At first I was on 10mg, but my heart rate was dropping into the low 40 range and I was extremely fatigued. Fatigued to the point I laid in bed for 4 days too tired to go to work. I called the doc and he lowered the dosage to 5mg and I feel a lot better. I still do not have the same energy level as I had before taking this drug, but after a few months now I am feeling like I am starting to adjust to it. I have had none of the side effects other than some fatigue so far and it has dropped my blood pressure down well into the proper range..Read More Read Less
