Zebeta Uses

High blood pressure in adults can be managed by taking Zebeta. As a beta blocker, the medication has been shown to significantly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Occasionally, healthcare providers may prescribe it "off-label" for treating other conditions. Common off-label Zebeta uses include the treatment of arrhythmias, chest pain, and anxiety.

What Is Zebeta Used For?

Zebeta^® (bisoprolol fumarate) is a prescription beta blocker medication approved for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension).

When your blood pressure is measured, the results are given as a combination of two numbers (for example, 120/80, said as "120 over 80"). The top number is known as the systolic blood pressure, and the bottom number is the diastolic blood pressure. High blood pressure is defined as an average blood pressure higher than 140/90 with multiple blood pressure measurements. Multiple measurements (preferably on different days) are necessary because blood pressure naturally varies quite a bit, and it is necessary to measure it several times to make sure there really is a problem.

In clinical studies, Zebeta has been shown to significantly lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. As a result, this medication can decrease the risks that occur with long-term hypertension (see Effects of High Blood Pressure); however, long-term studies have not yet been performed with Zebeta. Keep in mind that this drug cannot cure high blood pressure.

Zebeta can be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medications.
