Frequently asked questions
How long does Bisoheart 2.5 Tablet take to work?
You may notice initial effects within a couple of hours, but it can take a few weeks of regular use for the full benefit on blood pressure or angina to show.
Can I stop taking it once my symptoms improve?
No, stopping suddenly can be risky and may worsen chest pain or cause a rebound rise in heart rate or blood pressure. Any change should be made gradually under your doctor's guidance.
Why does this tablet make me feel tired or dizzy?
Because it slows the heart rate and lowers blood pressure, some people feel tired or lightheaded, especially when starting treatment. This usually eases with time, but tell your doctor if it doesn't.
Is Bisoheart the same as a water pill (diuretic)?
No, it's a beta-blocker, not a diuretic. It works by calming the heart's nerve signals and reducing its workload rather than by removing excess fluid from the body.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
Take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule — do not double up.
