Ive been taking Bisoprolol Fumarate (5 Mg) for two years now and I've noticed my skin noticably drying out. I have recently started adding Andrew Lessman collagen to my coffee each morning and I'm hoping that will help. So far all the collagen has done is cause me to have terrible gas, so obviously, I can't take it on days I have plans.
Just wondered if anyone else attributes dry skin to BP meds.

I attribute mine to just getting older ... although I am on BP meds ....

From What I've read some beta blockers can cause dry skin, eyes and mouth.

I take two BP meds and have dry mouth and chapped lips. So maybe it does.

I take the lowest dose of Losartan for HBP. I'm pretty faithful about hydrating and moisturizing, and taking a hyaluronic acid supplement, so if it does cause any skin dryness I haven't noticed.

Not sure if collagen will make skin more moist, but you need to check further into this, especially since terrible gas is affecting your quality of life.
(Lessman's phytocerimides looks like an interesting product.)
First, google side effects of the med and see what are possible.
Second, speak to the MD who prescribed this med.
Third, don't forget to stop by where you get your meds and speak to the Pharmacist ... I've found them to be a real wealth of knowledge for even the most ordinary things.

I take a calcium channel blocker (nifedipine) for my recently new diagnosis of HBP/pulmonary hypertension and it causes terrible tinnitus and headaches. I can't go a day w/o taking ibuprofen for the headaches. I'd rather have dry skin any day than what I've been experiencing with this nifedipine. Swelling legs, feet, face...ughhh!

It's a beta blocker and a can give some people dry mouth or dry lips but dry skin is not listed as a side effect, not even as a rarely seen side effect. But if you are taking other medications, you should ask your pharmacist because the combination of drugs might cause dry skin. Your dry skin is probably related to age.

Uh oh .... Having made the rounds of various HBP meds, I hope you're going to tell your doc that this one doesn't work for you. There are other meds that can do the trick without all the nasty side effects.
