Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
What you are experiencing are well known side effects of bisoprolol (concor) use especially dry mouth, dizziness and hand shaking.
Since you are using concor for stabilising your BP you may switch from betablockers (concor) to other antihypertensive agents.
If you were my patients I would recommend switching to Tritace (ramipril) instead of Concor. However since this is a medication you should discuss with your doctor.
Using multivitamins together with Concor decrease the effects of it (including effects on BP and side effects) contributing so on lessening of dry mouth. On the other hand drinking alcohol increase Concor effects worsening your symptoms.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
As i said above you should use multivitamins, omefa fish oil and CoQ 10 to reduce Concor side effects. To do so you should take them all together in the morning.
There are plenty multivitamins in the market and Xtend life balance for man is a good choice and you may use it.
There are no interaction between Concor and Euthyrox or Ursofalk.
Hope this will be of help!
