Question 1

does 5mg of zebeta work for 24 hours?

Accepted Answer

It is designed to : The half life (duration of at least 1/2 the drug in the body) of this medication varies among patients but it is long enough to use once daily. Typical patients would achieve a steady amount in their system within a few days. Over time a doctor may increase or decrease dosage depending on patient response. It is designed for long term use, not as an occasional med.

Question 2

is it best to take 5mg or zebeta in the morning or at night?

Accepted Answer

Either: It is best to incorporate any new medication into a routine you perform daily. That way you don't forget as easily.

Question 3

is it the same if i took 1/2 x 5 mg zebeta (bisoprolol), (bisoprolol) with 1 x 2.5 mg zebeta (bisoprolol)?

Accepted Answer

Probably same: It depends if the medication is scored or otherwise approved to be split.
 If so, then a 1/2 of a 5mg tablet would be equivalent dosage as a whole 2.5mg tablet.

Question 4

will zebeta work the same and for the same duration if i take 2.5mg tablet in the morning and at night instead of one 5mg pill in the morning or evening? is it best to just take the whole pill or break it up? i want it to last for 24hrs.

Accepted Answer

The basics: This med is designed to use once daily. It builds in your system over time, different from an antibiotic taken several X/d  that may flush out in hours. After a few days of regular use your blood drug level should reach steady state. You could break it up but it is likely not to be worth the extra work. Discuss this with your doc if you remain confused.

Too low : Lower limits of normal for BP is 90/60 and for hr is 60. However lower BP and/or heart rate may be tolerated in some, while higher levels might not be well tolerated by others.
