Medicine information
Uses & overview
BISOGARD 5 by Steris Healthcare contains 5 mg of Bisoprolol Fumarate IP, a cardioselective beta-blocker engineered for precise 24-hour cardiovascular protection. Designed for smooth hemodynamic regulation, BISOGARD 5 targets cardiac beta-1 receptors selectively to lower elevated blood pressure, stabilize heart rate, and protect the heart muscle from excessive sympathetic nerve stimulation—all with minimal impact on bronchial or peripheral vascular beta-2 receptors. Key Ingredients & Clinical Benefits: Bisoprolol Fumarate IP (5 mg): A potent, highly cardioselective beta-1 receptor antagonist that decreases resting and exercise heart rates, reduces myocardial contractility, and lowers systemic vascular resistance while preserving normal airway resistance. Key Uses & Clinical Benefits: 24-Hour Blood Pressure Control: Effectively manages mild to moderate essential hypertension with a smooth, once-daily dosing regimen. Chronic Stable Heart Failure Management: Serves as a vital maintenance dose alongside ACE inhibitors and diuretics to improve survival rates and reduce heart failure hospitalizations. Angina Pectoris Prevention: Reduces the frequency and severity of exertional chest pain episodes by decreasing myocardial oxygen demand during physical activity or stress. Rate Control in Arrhythmia: Helps normalize abnormally fast heart rhythms (tachycardia) to maintain steady cardiac output. High Cardioselectivity: Significantly minimizes the likelihood of beta-2 mediated side effects, such as bronchospasm or cold extremities, compared to non-selective beta-blockers. How BISOGARD 5 Works: Bisoprolol Fumarate selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors located primarily in the heart and renal juxtaglomerular cells. By inhibiting catecholamine (adrenaline) binding, it reduces resting and exercise heart rates, decreases cardiac output, lowers renal renin release, and reduces systemic blood pressure.
How to use
Take 1 tablet of BISOGARD 5 once daily in the morning, with or without food, or strictly as prescribed by your cardiologist or physician. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet. Try to take your dose at the same time every morning. Do not stop taking BISOGARD 5 abruptly, as sudden withdrawal can cause rebound hypertension or worsen angina.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and dark place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Store at a controlled room temperature below 30°C. Keep out of reach and sight of children.
