Why this happens
Both medicines can lower blood pressure: bisoprolol slows the heart rate, while empagliflozin acts as a diuretic (water pill) which reduces fluid in the body. Furthermore, while empagliflozin lowers blood sugar, bisoprolol (a beta-blocker) can interfere with the body's natural response to low sugar and mask symptoms like palpitations.
What you should do
You can usually take these medicines together, but you should monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels more closely, especially when starting or changing doses. Be aware that you might not feel the usual 'racing heart' if your sugar drops, so look out for other signs like sweating or hunger. If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, contact your doctor.
