Can Bisoprolol Be Stopped In Case Of Fatigue And Dizziness?

I am a 70 year old male who had a stroke in March 2017. Since then I am taking Bisopralol Fumarate every day as well as blood thinner Xaretto. Every day since then I lack energy and libido, sometimes feeling faint when I have to sit down and rest. I have also been diagnosed with extremely dry eyes . Should I give up taking Bisopralol?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Fatigue and dizziness are common side effects of bisoprolol.
This medication can not be stopped immediately.
I think that you should consult your doctor for an alternative medication and reduce the dose gradually.
Meanwhile you should take under control the blood pressure.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
