ZIAC Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is ZIAC?
ZIAC is the brand name for bisoprolol/hydrochlorothiazide and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is ZIAC available in?
ZIAC is available as a 2.5 mg/6.25 mg, 5 mg/6.25 mg, and 10 mg/6.25 mg oral tablet.
What is ZIAC used for?
ZIAC is a beta-blocker and diuretic that is used to treat high blood pressure.
How does ZIAC work?
ZIAC is a combination of two different medications that both work to lower blood pressure.
Bisoprolol is a cardioselective beta blocker. It works by blocking chemicals that attach to receptors on the heart. This slows down your heart rate and lowers your blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that makes you urinate more. It works in your kidneys to remove extra water and certain electrolytes, which helps lower your blood pressure.
How do I take ZIAC?
ZIAC is typically started at 2.5 mg/6.25 mg (bisoprolol / hydrochlorothiazide) by mouth once daily. If needed, your provider will raise your dose every 2 weeks. The maximum recommended dose of Ziac is 20 mg/12.5 mg (bisoprolol / hydrochlorothiazide) by mouth once daily.
Is it safe for me to take ZIAC?
ZIAC is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects.
