Bisoprolol, sold under the brand name Zebeta among others, is a beta blocker which is selective for the beta-1 receptor [7] and used for cardiovascular diseases, [7] including tachyarrhythmias, high blood pressure, angina, and heart failure. [7] [8] It is taken by mouth. [7]
Beta-blockers act as competitive antagonists that block the effects of catecholamines at beta-adrenergic receptor sites, resulting in reduced rate and force of contraction of the heart, as well as reduced peripheral vascular resistance. [14] Non-selective beta-blockers: propranolol, nadolol, timolol

Metoprolol is classified as a moderately lipophilic beta blocker.

[37] Metoprolol binds mainly to human serum albumin with an unbound ...
