Same class: both belong to the class of beta-blockers. Bisoprolol and metoprolol are selective B1 blockers. Bisoprolol is dosed between 2.5-10 mg once a day. Metoprolol is dosed between 12.5 - 100 mg once or twice a day depending on if it is extended release. Please discuss with her primary care physician.
