About
BISOTAB 5 MG TAB contains Bisoprolol, a highly selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It primarily acts on beta-1 receptors in the heart, leading to a reduction in heart rate, myocardial contractility, and blood pressure. This selective action helps to decrease the heart's workload and oxygen demand, making it particularly effective in managing various cardiovascular conditions with a lower risk of bronchospasm compared to non-selective beta-blockers. Its pharmacological profile allows for once-daily dosing.
This medication is commonly prescribed for the management of hypertension, chronic stable angina, and chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Its cardio-selective nature at therapeutic doses makes it a preferred choice for patients who might be at risk for respiratory complications with non-selective beta-blockers. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is important during treatment.
Uses
- Management of hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Treatment of chronic stable angina
- Management of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
- Adjunctive therapy for certain cardiac arrhythmias
Directions For Use
Take one tablet once daily, usually in the morning, with or without food, as directed by your physician.
Benefits
- Provides effective and sustained blood pressure control.
- Reduces the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
- Improves symptoms and prognosis in chronic heart failure.
- Convenient once-daily dosing.
- Cardio-selective, reducing risk of respiratory side effects.
- Well-tolerated in many patient populations.
Side Effects
- Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Fatigue and weakness
- Headache
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Cold extremities
- Hypotension (low blood pressure)
- Sleep disturbances
- Shortness of breath (especially in susceptible individuals)
- Muscle weakness or cramps
- Impotence or sexual dysfunction
Safety Measures
- Alcohol - Alcohol may enhance the hypotensive effects and increase dizziness. It is advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption.
- Pregnancy - Use only if clearly needed and potential benefits outweigh risks. Bisoprolol may cause fetal bradycardia or growth restriction.
- Breastfeeding - Small amounts of bisoprolol may pass into breast milk. Consult your doctor; monitor the infant for signs of beta-blockade.
- Liver - Use with caution in patients with liver impairment. Dose adjustment may be necessary as metabolism can be affected.
- Kidney - Dose adjustment may be required in patients with severe kidney impairment. Monitor renal function regularly.
- Lung - Use with caution in patients with bronchial asthma or COPD. While cardio-selective, high doses can still affect beta-2 receptors.
