Zabesta Tablet

Zabesta Tablet contains bisoprolol in each tablet, and the exact strength is as labelled on the pack. It belongs to the beta-blocker class and is used to help manage high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. Zabesta Tablet is prescribed to lower the heart rate and reduce the heart’s workload, which can help in conditions such as hypertension and angina, and in some patients with heart failure.

How it works: Bisoprolol in Zabesta Tablet blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which slows the heartbeat and lowers blood pressure. As a tablet, it delivers a measured oral dose that works over the day to reduce strain on the heart.

Because Zabesta Tablet is a tablet, it is a regular oral solid dose that is easy to swallow and suitable for long-term daily use when a doctor wants steady beta-blocker coverage. Since this product is sold only in one labeled strength here, your prescriber may choose it when that exact dose matches your treatment plan instead of a lower or higher tablet strength.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Heart rate control in selected patients
• Chronic heart failure in patients a doctor selects

• Swallow Zabesta Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist says it is okay.
• Take it at the same time every day to keep blood levels steady.
• You may take it with or without food; if it upsets your stomach, taking it with food may help.
• Do not stop Zabesta Tablet suddenly, because stopping too fast can worsen chest pain or heart problems.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Zabesta Tablet provides the exact bisoprolol strength printed on the pack, and the dose is individualized by your doctor. It is usually taken once daily, and the maximum daily amount depends on the prescribed regimen and the condition being treated, so do not change the dose on your own.

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

Common side effects of Bisoprolol may include:

• Fatigue or tiredness, especially when starting or after a dose increase
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Slow heartbeat
• Cold hands or feet
• Headache
• Nausea
• Sleep changes or vivid dreams

• Use extra caution if you have asthma, COPD, diabetes, thyroid disease, or a history of slow heartbeat or heart block.
• This strength may lower heart rate and blood pressure more noticeably in sensitive patients, so standing up slowly can help reduce dizziness.
• Avoid stopping Zabesta Tablet suddenly unless your doctor tells you to do so.
• Tell your doctor if you have circulation problems, severe kidney or liver disease, or fainting episodes.
• Alcohol can increase dizziness or low blood pressure in some people.
• Use caution when driving or using machinery until you know how Zabesta Tablet affects you.
• Tell your doctor before surgery or dental procedures because this medicine can affect heart rate and blood pressure.

• Other blood pressure medicines, including calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors
• Digoxin or other medicines that can slow the heart rate
• Certain antiarrhythmics and beta-blockers
• Diabetes medicines or insulin, because bisoprolol can mask low blood sugar symptoms
• NSAIDs such as ibuprofen may reduce blood pressure control in some patients

Store Zabesta Tablet in the original strip/box at room temperature, away from excess heat, moisture, and direct light, and keep it out of reach of children.
