Hi,
I can understand you concern for hair fall.

Bisoprolol fumarate in general do not cause hair fall. It is not a common side effect of this drug to impair any of normal hair function. You can talk to your family physician for the same.

You can take vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes. Increase you protein intake on daily basis and eat sprouts. Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and sprouts which contains vitamins and minerals necessary for normal hair function.

Stop any substance abuse like smoking or alcohol. Wash your hair daily with simple shampoo and do not apply hair oil.
Take care.
