Bisopro 5mg (30pcs Box) Price in Bangladesh

Indications of Bisopro 5

Sulfonylurea as Bisoprolol & Amlodipine combined therapy is indicated for the treatment of hypertension in patients who are adequately managed with the individual medications given concurrently at the same dose levels as in the combination but as separate tablets.

Pharmacology

Bisoprolol Hemi fumarate is the most selective ß1 blocker. It displays the highest level of affinity for the ß1 receptor than any other beta-blocker available up to now. Selectively blocks ß1 adrenergic receptors in the heart and vascular smooth muscle and reduces heart rate and cardiac output resulting in a decrease in arterial hypertension. Lipid metabolism can be adversely affected by ß-blockers, in patients with nonß1 selective ß1-blocker, but Bisoprolol does not cause any change in the cholesterol fraction including the cardioprotective HDL-cholesterol, in long-term therapy.

Dosage & Administration of Bisopro 5

Hypertension: The dose of Bisoprolol must be individualized to the needs of the patient. The usual starting dose is 5 mg once daily. In some patients, 2.5 mg may be an appropriate starting dose. If the antihypertensive effect of 5 mg is inadequate, the dose may be increased to 10 mg and then, if necessary, to 20 mg once daily.
