Bisoprolol, to carry out its therapeutic action, must be administered orally. In fact, it is available in tablet form within many medicines (both "brand name" and equivalent or generic drugs). In order to be dispensed, these medicines would require a repeatable medical prescription (RR); however, being classified as drugs of band A, their cost can be reimbursed by the National Health System (SSN), in whole or in part, depending on the case (it may be necessary to pay a ticket).

In addition, in some medicines, bisoprolol is found in combination with hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic) or perindopril (an ACE inhibitor).
