Bisoprolol exhibits a high absolute bioavailability (90%) because of its nearly complete absorption (greater than 90%) and small first-pass effect (10%). Bioavailability is independent of food intake. A long plasma-elimination half-life (10-11h) allows a once-a-day dose regimen.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
