Overview
Bisoprolol Fumarate 5mg Tablets (28 pack) is a beta-blocker medicine used to treat high blood pressure, angina (heart-related chest pain) and heart failure. Bisoprolol works by slowing the heart and reducing how hard it has to pump, which lowers blood pressure, eases the heart's workload and helps prevent chest pain. In heart failure it is started low and increased gradually to help the heart cope better over time. Lowering blood pressure and steadying the heart helps protect against stroke and heart attack. A doctor-prescribed option for people with heart and blood-pressure conditions. Confirm the active on the pack.
Active: Bisoprolol fumarate 5mg per tablet.
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor. Usually one tablet once daily in the morning, with or without food, swallowed with water. Keep taking it even when you feel well. Do not stop suddenly, as this can worsen heart problems; your doctor will reduce the dose gradually if it needs to be stopped. Attend regular blood-pressure and heart reviews so the dose can be adjusted.
May cause tiredness, dizziness, cold hands and feet or a slow heartbeat. Rise slowly and take care driving until you know how it affects you. Tell your doctor about asthma or breathing problems, very slow heart rate, certain heart-conduction problems, or diabetes (it can mask low-blood-sugar signs). Do not stop abruptly.
