Bisoprolol Fumarate 5mg + Amlodipine 5mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Bisoprolol Fumarate 5mg + Amlodipine 5mg is a combination for high blood pressure that brings together a cardioselective beta-blocker and a calcium-channel blocker. It is used when the paired doses suit the patient's need for both heart-rate control and blood-vessel relaxation.

How to use

Take the tablet once daily at a regular time, with or without food. Swallow it with water. Continue daily treatment rather than using it only when a reading is high, and avoid sudden withdrawal of the bisoprolol component.

How it works

Bisoprolol reduces beta-1 stimulation of the heart, lowering pulse and cardiac workload. Amlodipine blocks calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle, allowing arteries to relax. Together they reduce blood pressure through complementary actions.

Side effects

Ankle swelling, headache, flushing, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and a slow pulse can occur. Fainting, worsening breathing or a very slow heartbeat require prompt medical assessment.

Important information

Tell your doctor about asthma, significant heart block, severe circulation problems, liver or kidney disease, diabetes, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Verapamil, diltiazem and digoxin can increase pulse-slowing effects. Amlodipine can increase simvastatin exposure, so the cholesterol regimen may need a dose limit or a different statin.
