From January to December 2000, 45 patients with ages ranged from 49 to 90 years with hypertension grade II and III were involved in the study. They were given three Bisoprolol-based regimens to control their hypertension. The results showed that 5mg of Bisoprolol daily provided good effectiveness in lowering blood pressure within 10 - 15 days of treatment for patients with hypertension grade II and III, especially for old patients. The regimen should be longed for 10 days or more. Main adverse effect is slow pulse. It should be combined with Adalat or Trofurit. Bisoprolol is better than other medications as Flendyl or Coversyl in lowering blood pressure.
