B-Cor 5 – Bisoprolol Fumarate 5mg Tablets, 30 Tablets

B-Cor 5 is a beta blocker that is used to treat hypertension, or high blood pressure. The active ingredient in B-Cor 5, bisoprolol fumarate 5mg, works by affecting the body’s response to some nerve impulses, specifically in the heart. This slows down the heart rate and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood around the body. In addition, B-Cor 5 reduces the amount of blood required by the heart, as well as its use of oxygen.

B-Cor 5 is an effective treatment for hypertension, and can help to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. If you have high blood pressure, B-Cor 5 can help you manage it and improve your overall health.

What is B-Cor 5 – Bisoprolol Fumarate 5mg used for?

Bisoprolol fumarate is used to treat stable chronic heart failure. Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weak and unable to pump enough blood to supply the body’s needs. It is used in combination with other medicines suitable for this condition (such as ACE inhibitors, diuretics, and heart glycosides).

In addition, Bisoprolol fumarate 5 mg and 10 mg are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart pain due to impaired perfusion of the coronary vessels (ischemic heart disease, angina pectoris)

How to Use

How to use Bisoprolol

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Treatment with Bisoprolol fumarate requires regular monitoring by your doctor. This is particularly necessary at the start of treatment, during dose increases and when you stop treatment.

Take the tablet with some water in the morning, with or without food. Do not crush or chew the tablet. The score line is not intended for breaking the tablet.

Treatment with Bisoprolol fumarate is usually long-term.

Chronic heart failure

Adults including the elderly

Treatment with bisoprolol must be started at a low dose and increased gradually. Your doctor will decide how to increase the dose, and this will normally be done in the following way:

  • 1.25 mg once daily for one week
  • 2.5 mg once daily for one week
  • 3.75 mg once daily for one week
  • 5 mg once daily for four weeks
  • 7.5 mg once daily for four weeks
  • 10 mg once daily for maintenance (on-going) therapy.

 

The maximum recommended daily dose is 10 mg bisoprolol.

Depending on how well you tolerate the medicine, your doctor may also decide to lengthen the time between dose increases. If your condition gets worse or you no longer tolerate the drug, it may be necessary to reduce the dose again or to interrupt treatment. In some patients a maintenance dose lower than 10 mg bisoprolol may be sufficient. Your doctor will tell you what to do.

If you have to stop treatment entirely, your doctor will usually advise you to reduce the dose gradually, as otherwise your condition may become worse.

High blood pressure (hypertension)

Adults including the elderly

Unless prescribed otherwise, the recommended dose is 5 mg bisoprolol daily. In cases of only slightly elevated blood pressure (diastolic blood pressure of up to 105 mmHg), treatment with 2.5 mg once daily may be sufficient, using other medicinal products with appropriate strength.

If the effect is insufficient, the dose can be increased to 10 mg bisoprolol daily.

Additional dose increases are justified only in exceptional cases.

The highest recommended dose is 20 mg once daily.

Ischemic heart disease (angina pectoris)

Adults including the elderly

Unless prescribed otherwise, the recommended dose is 5 mg bisoprolol daily.

If the effect is insufficient, the dose can be increased to 10 mg bisoprolol daily.

Additional dose increases are justified only in exceptional cases.

The highest recommended dose is 20 mg once daily.

High blood pressure (hypertension) and ischemic heart disease (angina pectoris)

Dosing in case of hepatic or renal impairment

In patients with mild to moderate hepatic or renal impairment, dosage adjustment is not normally necessary. In patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 20 ml/min) and in patients with severe hepatic impairment, the daily dose should not exceed 10 mg bisoprolol fumarate.

If you take more Bisoprolol fumarate than you should

If you have taken more Bisoprolol fumarate tablets than you should, tell your doctor immediately. Your doctor will decide what measures are necessary.

Symptoms of an overdose may include slowed heart rate, severe difficulty in breathing, feeling dizzy, or trembling (due to decreased blood sugar).

If you forget to take Bisoprolol fumarate

Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. Take your usual dose the next morning.

If you stop taking Bisoprolol fumarate

Never stop taking Bisoprolol fumarate unless your doctor tells you to do so. Otherwise your condition could become much worse.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
