Bisoprolol brand
Zebeta
Bisoprolol class and IND
Selective Beta 1 blocker
Bisoprolol MOA
The inhibition of the beta-1 receptors in the heart are known to facilitate a reduction in chronotropy and inotropy resulting in a reduction of the pulse and cardiac output that can lower the blood pressure.
Some vasoconstriction due to some degree of beta2 antagonism.
