How is propranolol different than bisoprolol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Propran vs bisoprolo: BOTH block beta receptors in blood vessels heart brain and elsewhere. This makes them dilate thus decreasing resistance to blood flow and more blood gets down stream. Used to lower BP. Heart rate slows, renin decreases. P is metabolized faster and needs to be taken 3-4 x a day. B once a day. Go to uptodate.com and Wikipedia and Drugs.com for more details. They have good pictures as well.
