Abstract

A case of bisoprolol self-poisoning resulting in full recovery of the patient is described. The peak plasma level of bisoprolol was 541 ng ml-1. Sinus bradycardia was the only symptom observed, suggesting that cardioselectivity and absence of membrane stabilizing activity contribute to reduce the severity of beta-blocker intoxication.
