Beta-1 selective blocker (heart failure, hypertension)Reviewed May 22, 2026

Bisoprolol (Zebeta) and Ketamine Therapy | Tovani Health

Zebeta (Bisoprolol) (also: Ziac)Beta-1 selective blocker (heart failure, hypertension)

Verdict at Tovani Health

Fully compatible; same favorable cardiovascular pairing as metoprolol.

Bisoprolol and ketamine have no clinically significant interaction. One of the four beta-blockers with proven HFrEF mortality benefit (with metoprolol succinate, carvedilol, and nebivolol). Beta-1 selective with smooth long-acting profile. Like other beta blockers, opposes ketamine's transient sympathomimetic effect.

If you take Zebeta regularly and are considering at-home ketamine therapy, the combination is generally safe at therapeutic doses. This page covers the brief pharmacologic context and what we do at intake.

How Zebeta interacts with ketamine

Bisoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors. Renal + hepatic elimination, no significant CYP interactions with ketamine.

What we do at intake

Continue as normal.

Bottom line

Bisoprolol and ketamine have no clinically significant interaction. One of the four beta-blockers with proven HFrEF mortality benefit (with metoprolol succinate, carvedilol, and nebivolol). Beta-1 selective with smooth long-acting profile. Like other beta blockers, opposes ketamine's transient sympathomimetic effect.
