Biselect 10 Tablet

Biselect 10 Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains bisoprolol 10 mg in each tablet. Bisoprolol belongs to the beta-blocker class, which is used to help lower blood pressure, reduce strain on the heart, and treat certain heart-related conditions. Biselect 10 Tablet may be prescribed for hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions when a doctor wants a stronger bisoprolol dose. Because this is the 10 mg strength, it is not a starter strength for many people and should be used only as directed.

How it works: Bisoprolol in Biselect 10 Tablet blocks beta receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and lowers the force of each heartbeat. By making the heart work less hard, this tablet can help reduce blood pressure and improve symptoms in certain heart conditions.

Biselect 10 Tablet provides bisoprolol 10 mg per tablet, which is a higher-strength tablet compared with lower bisoprolol doses that are often used first when treatment is started. It may suit patients who have already been assessed and need a stronger maintenance dose to reach blood pressure or heart-rate goals. A doctor may choose Biselect 10 Tablet when a lower strength is not enough or when the patient has already tolerated bisoprolol well.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Heart rate control in selected patients

• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember doses and keep your treatment consistent.

Each Biselect 10 Tablet contains bisoprolol 10 mg. This strength is generally taken once daily, but the exact schedule and whether any dose adjustment is needed must be decided by the doctor based on your blood pressure, heart rate, and response. Do not take more than the prescribed amount; the maximum daily dose depends on the condition being treated and your prescriber’s plan.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
