Bisoprolol is also used to prevent chest pain caused by angina. It's also used to treat atrial fibrillation and other conditions that cause an irregular heartbeat.[1]
It works by slowing down the heart rate and making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.[1]
Bisoprolol was patented in 1976 and approved for medical use in 1986.[5] It was approved for medical use in the United States in 1992.[6]
