What are the specific side effects of the beta blocker Ziac?
Beta blockers come in two classes B1 and B2 with the B2 being somewhat selective. That is they produce less pulmonary side effects, etc. General side effects are fatigue, insomnia or nightmares, nausea, occasional hair loss, and slow pulse. Fatigue is the side effect which causes most patients to avoid these drugs. Ziac tries to avoid the side effects of beta blockers by using a very small dose. However, some patients are very sensitive to beta blockers and will experience side effects at small doses.
