Bisocard 5 Mg 30 Tablets

Bisocard 5 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Bisocard 5 mg 30 tablets is a prescription cardiovascular medicine containing bisoprolol fumarate, a beta1-selective adrenergic blocker (beta-blocker) used primarily for the treatment of high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. By selectively blocking beta1 receptors in the heart, Bisocard helps reduce heart rate, cardiac workload, and oxygen demand, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving overall heart function. It is commonly prescribed as part of long-term management of hypertension and coronary artery disease to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. This product is intended for adult use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults.
• Management of coronary artery disease, including stable ischemic heart disease, to reduce episodes of angina and improve cardiac protection.
• Helps decrease cardiac workload and oxygen consumption in patients with cardiovascular risk factors as determined by the physician.
• May be used in combination with other antihypertensive agents as prescribed to achieve target blood pressure control.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Bisoprolol fumarate – 5 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Excipients: film-coating and tablet core excipients (full quantitative list of inactive ingredients is not available in the provided information).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Bisocard 5 mg tablets should be used exactly as prescribed by your physician. Do not change your dose or stop treatment without medical advice.
• Typical adult dose for hypertension and coronary artery disease: often 5 mg once daily, swallowed whole with water, preferably at the same time each day. The dose may be adjusted (lower or higher) by the doctor according to clinical response and tolerance. Exact dosing must follow your doctor’s instructions.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole; do not crush, break, or chew.
• Can be taken with or without food; taking it at the same time daily helps improve adherence.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not stop Bisocard abruptly, especially if you have coronary artery disease; the dose should be tapered gradually under medical supervision to avoid rebound effects such as worsening angina or increased blood pressure.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps effectively lower elevated blood pressure, contributing to long-term protection of the heart, brain, and kidneys.
• Reduces heart rate and cardiac workload, which can improve exercise tolerance and decrease episodes of chest pain in coronary artery disease.
• Decreases myocardial oxygen consumption and aortic pressure, supporting better overall cardiac efficiency.
• Contributes to reduction in cardiovascular risk, including risk of heart attack and stroke, when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to bisoprolol or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in second- or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) heart block unless a functioning pacemaker is present.
• Contraindicated in acute or decompensated congestive heart failure and cardiogenic shock.
• Contraindicated in marked sinus bradycardia (very slow heart rate) and severe hypotension.
• Use is generally contraindicated or requires extreme caution in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchial asthma due to potential bronchospasm, even though bisoprolol is beta1-selective.
• Use with caution in patients with peripheral arterial disease, as symptoms may be aggravated.
• Use with caution and under close monitoring in patients with renal impairment or hepatic impairment; dose adjustment may be required.
• May mask signs of hypoglycemia (such as rapid heartbeat) in diabetic patients; blood glucose should be monitored regularly.
• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Beta-blockers should be used during pregnancy and lactation only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
• Use with caution if you have thyroid disorders, psoriasis, or a history of severe allergic reactions, as beta-blockers can influence these conditions.
• Do not stop taking Bisocard suddenly without consulting your doctor, especially if you have ischemic heart disease.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are taking other medications such as calcium channel blockers (e.g., verapamil, diltiazem), antiarrhythmics, other antihypertensives, insulin or oral antidiabetics, or CNS depressants, due to possible drug interactions.
• Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy, fatigued, or experience visual disturbances while taking this medicine.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as heart block, heart failure, asthma, COPD, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, renal or hepatic impairment.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease outside its approved medical indications.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, headache, cold hands and feet, bradycardia (slow heart rate), low blood pressure, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation.
• Less common side effects can include sleep disturbances, depression or mood changes, muscle weakness or cramps, and shortness of breath, especially in patients with underlying respiratory disease.
• Serious side effects may include severe bradycardia, significant drop in blood pressure, worsening heart failure symptoms (shortness of breath, swelling of legs, sudden weight gain), bronchospasm, or severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of face or throat, difficulty breathing).
• Stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain worsening, severe dizziness or fainting, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or tongue, or any other signs of a serious reaction.
• Inform your doctor about any persistent or bothersome side effects for proper evaluation and dose adjustment if needed.
