Bisoprolol, marketed under the tradename Zebeta among others, is a medication of the beta blocker type most commonly used for heart diseases.[1] This specifically includes high blood pressure, chest pain from not enough blood flow to the heart, and heart failure.[1][5] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include headache, feeling tired, diarrhea, and swelling in the legs.[1] More severe side effects include worsening asthma, blocking the ability to recognize low blood sugar, and worsening heart failure.[7] There are concerns that use during pregnancy may be harmful to the baby.[8] Bisoprolol is in the beta blocker family of medications, specifically the β1 selective type.[1]

Bisoprolol was patented in 1976 and approved for medical use in 1986.[9] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[10] Bisoprolol is available as a generic medication.[1] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about US$3–5 per month.[11] In the UK it costs the NHS just less than £1 per month as of 2020.[12] In the United States, as of 2015, it costs about $25–50 a month.[13] In 2017, it was the 268th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than one million prescriptions.[14][15]
