Bisoprolol (Bisoprolol Fumarate) 5 mg – 20 Tablets

Benefits & Features:

Bisoprolol is a cardioselective beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain), and chronic heart failure, helping to reduce the workload on the heart and improve overall cardiac function.

• Effectively lowers high blood pressure
• Reduces risk of heart attack and stroke
• Improves symptoms and long-term outcomes in chronic heart failure

Requires Prescription:

Yes

Generics:

Yes (Bisoprolol Fumarate)

Used For:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Chronic stable angina pectoris
• Stable chronic heart failure

How it Works:

Bisoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, resulting in a slower heart rate and reduced force of contraction. This decreases cardiac workload and lowers blood pressure, improving oxygen supply to the heart.

Usage & Safety Dosage:

Usually 5 mg once daily, adjusted by the doctor according to individual response.

Take at the same time each day, with or without food.

Side Effects:

Fatigue, dizziness, cold extremities, headache, and bradycardia (slow heart rate). Rarely, sleep disturbances or shortness of breath may occur.

Drug Interactions:

Use caution with:

• Calcium channel blockers (Verapamil, Diltiazem)
• Antiarrhythmics (Amiodarone, Quinidine)
• Clonidine (may cause rebound hypertension if stopped abruptly)

When Not to Use:

• Acute heart failure or cardiogenic shock
• Severe bradycardia or heart block
• Metabolic acidosis

Precautions:

Do not discontinue suddenly, as it may worsen angina or heart failure.

Use cautiously in patients with asthma or COPD, as it may cause bronchospasm.

Warnings:

Requires close medical monitoring, especially during dose changes.

If discontinuation is needed, reduce gradually under medical supervision.
