What is Biselect 10?
Biselect containing the active ingredient bisoprolol fumarate is considered a beta blocker type of medication that can affect the heart and circulation. The medication works by slowing down the heart rate to lower the strain on the heart and can be used alone or along with other medication to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure can help prevent heart attacks, strokes and kidney problems.
How is Biselect 10 used?
Biselect is usually taken orally once per day or as directed by a doctor. The medication can be taken with or without food but should be taken with a full glass of water. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the therapy. Do not discontinue the treatment without consulting a doctor, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure generally has no visible signs.
