Zebeta :Beta-blocking medications slow the heart rate and reduce hypertension (high blood pressure).:

Side Effects:

You may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, and blurred vision as your body adjusts to the medication.

Use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness.

Because beta-blockers reduce blood circulation to the extremities, your hands and feet may be more susceptible to the cold.

Dress warm.

Inform your doctor if you develop easy bruising or bleeding, swollen hands or feet, confusion, depression or a sore throat.

In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to this drug, seek medical attention immediately.

Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness or trouble breathing.

Precautions:

Before taking this drug, tell your doctor if you have a history of heart, kidney, or liver disease, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or other lung disease, diabetes, an overactive thyroid gland or any drug allergies.

Before having surgery, tell the doctor or dentist in charge that you are taking a beta-blocker.

This drug should be used only if clearly needed during pregnancy.

Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

This drug is excreted into breast milk and though no problems have been noted, the possibility for adverse effects to the infant exists.

Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

ZIAC (bisoprolol fumarate and hydrochlorothiazide) is indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
Bisoprolol fumarate is a beta 1-selective (cardioselective) adrenoceptor blocking agent without significant membrane stabilizing or intrinsic sympathomimetic activities in its therapeutic dose range.
Because of its beta1-selectivity, this is less likely with bisoprolol fumarate.
However, patients subject to spontaneous hypoglycemia, or diabetic patients receiving insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents, should be cautioned about these possibilities.
Miscellaneous: The oculomucocutaneous syndrome associated with the beta-blocker practolol has not been reported with bisoprolol fumarate during investigational use or extensive foreign marketing experience.
The following adverse experiences, in addition to those listed in the above table, have been reported with hydrochlorothiazide (generally with doses of 25 mg or greater).

Background Recent data suggest that beta-blockers can be beneficial in subgroups of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
We examined the effects of bisoprolol fumarate on exercise capacity and left ventricular volume with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and applied a novel high-resolution MRI tagging technique to determine myocardial rotation and relaxation velocity.
Statistical Graphics Corporation software (Bethesda, Md) was used to perform multivariante analysis of variance procedures between patients randomized to bisoprolol fumarate or placebo.
Sample size estimates were on the basis of variance obtained from our previous studies of ventricular volumes with MRI, in which the standard deviation of left ventricular end-diastolic volume was roughly 40 mL.
