Is the human version of Bisoprolol harmful to dogs?

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide medical advice. It's incredibly dangerous to give human medications to dogs, even if they seem similar. Bisoprolol, a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart problems in humans, can be toxic to dogs.

Here's why:

* Dosage: The dosage for dogs is significantly different than for humans. Giving a dog a human dose of bisoprolol could be fatal.

* Active Ingredients: The formulations of human and animal medications can differ in active ingredients, fillers, and even the way the drug is absorbed by the body.

* Side Effects: Even if the dosage was correct, dogs can experience serious side effects from bisoprolol, including:

* Low blood pressure

* Slow heart rate

* Weakness

* Vomiting

* Diarrhea

If you suspect your dog has ingested any medication, please contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center immediately.

Always consult with your veterinarian for safe and effective treatment options for your dog.
