Bisoprolol Fumarate 2.5mg Tablets
SKU GME1010Product Introduction
Bisoprolol Fumarate 2.5mg is a cardioselective beta-blocker used for high blood pressure, angina and stable chronic heart failure. Different tablet strengths allow gradual adjustment to the heart rate, blood pressure and heart-failure regimen required for each patient.
How to use
Take the tablet once daily, usually in the morning, with or without food. Heart-failure treatment starts at a low dose and is increased gradually as pulse, blood pressure and symptoms allow. Avoid sudden withdrawal after regular use because it can worsen angina or cardiac symptoms.
How it works
Bisoprolol mainly blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart. It slows the heartbeat, reduces the force of contraction and reduces renin release from the kidneys, lowering blood pressure and the heart's oxygen demand.
Side effects
Tiredness, dizziness, headache, cold hands or feet, nausea and a slow pulse can occur. Fainting, worsening breathlessness, wheezing or a very slow heartbeat need prompt medical attention.
Important information
Tell your doctor about asthma, significant heart block, severe circulation problems, kidney or liver disease, and diabetes. Verapamil, diltiazem, digoxin and some rhythm medicines can add to the pulse-slowing effect. An acute deterioration in heart failure requires assessment before further dose escalation.
Uses
- High blood pressure
- prevention of angina episodes
- stable chronic heart failure alongside other heart-failure medicines.
Benefits
Lowers the heart's workload and oxygen needs, helping prevent exertional chest discomfort. In stable systolic heart failure, carefully introduced bisoprolol supports longer-term cardiac function and outcomes.
Why is a low-strength bisoprolol tablet used at the start of heart-failure treatment?
The heart needs time to adjust to beta blockade. Beginning with a low amount and increasing in stages reduces the risk of an excessive fall in pulse or blood pressure and allows fluid symptoms to be monitored.
Can bisoprolol treat chest pain that has already started?
It helps prevent angina episodes but does not replace a rapid-acting nitrate for an acute episode. New, severe or persistent chest pain needs urgent assessment.
Does a normal blood-pressure reading mean I can stop it?
A normal reading may reflect effective treatment. Abrupt withdrawal can cause rebound cardiac symptoms, particularly in people with coronary artery disease; stopping is usually done by a gradual reduction.
Can bisoprolol mask low blood sugar?
It can make a racing heartbeat or tremor less noticeable during hypoglycaemia. Glucose monitoring remains important for anyone using insulin or medicines that can lower blood sugar.
