What is Bisoprolol?

The eponymous active ingredient Bisoprolol is one of the most prescribed hypertension drugs on the market today. This drug belongs to the group of beta-receptor blockers or beta-blockers. Beta-blockers prevent adrenaline from docking to the beta receptors of the heart, relieving stress. Therefore, they are useful in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure, palpitations, heart failure, and heart disease.

What exactly is Bisoprolol used for?

Bisoprolol is prescribed for:

  • Hypertension
  • Angina
  • Tachycardia
  • Chronic heart failure

Consequences of high blood pressure

When there is a disturbance in the natural system of the body, it can lead to high blood pressure, which the patient does not feel due to the lack of symptoms. Therefore, the patient does not notice when hypertension gradually gets worse. Constant unnoticed hypertension affects small vessels in the eye and kidneys. Consequently, long-term unrecognized hypertension may result in loss of vision and severe kidney dysfunction.

The effect of the beta- blockers

By docking on the so-called beta-receptors in the heart, the hormone adrenaline and the neurotransmitter norepinephrine cause an increase in cardiac muscle activity. As a result, heart strength and heart rate increase, causing a reduction in the stimulation threshold of the heart. This means that the pumping power of the heart increases and so does the blood pressure.

The beta-blocker Bisoprolol has the ability to block these receptors so that epinephrine and norepinephrine can no longer dock, causing a decrease in adrenaline. This lowers the blood pressure, as well as the oxygen and energy consumption of the heart, which finally results in the reduction of blood pressure, the relief of the heart muscle, and the reduction of the overall heart work.

Unlike ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers slow the heart rate, while ACE inhibitors do not alter the heart rate. If a patient with hypertension is under the age of 60 and has cardiac arrhythmias or heart problems, then beta-blockers are preferable to ACE inhibitors.

Who can take Bisoprolol?

Bisoprolol can be prescribed to healthy adults, who tolerate the active ingredient and do not have any serious health issues. Women who breastfeed can take the drug, as it has not been shown to pass into breast milk. However, pregnant women should have a strict risk analysis made by the doctor before initiating this therapy, as Bisoprolol may affect the development of the fetus. Careful monitoring of uterine and placental blood flow should be made throughout the pregnancy.

Dosage of the drug

The dose of Bisoprolol should initially be low and, if necessary, increased. The treatment should not be abruptly discontinued or lessened. To explain, sudden withdrawal can trigger dangerous blood pressure spikes, which in this case is called a rebound effect.
