FAQs about Ziac
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Ziac, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. This information is provided in the Patient Counseling Information section of the label.
Can I take Ziac while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The use of Ziac during pregnancy should be discussed with your healthcare provider, as it may pose risks to the fetus. It is not known whether bisoprolol is excreted in human breast milk, so nursing mothers should consult their healthcare provider before taking Ziac. This guidance is outlined in the Pregnancy and Nursing Mothers sections of the label.
Can I stop taking Ziac suddenly?
It is not recommended to stop taking Ziac suddenly without consulting your healthcare provider, as abrupt discontinuation may lead to worsening of your condition. Your prescriber will determine the best way to taper off the medication if necessary. This warning is included in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label.
How should I store Ziac?
Ziac should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in its original container and out of reach of children. This storage information is specified in the Storage section of the label.
