BISOGARD 5

BISOGARD 5 is a prescription medication containing Bisoprolol Fumarate 5 mg, a cardioselective beta-blocker used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart-related conditions such as angina (chest pain) and heart failure. By controlling the heart rate and reducing the workload on the heart, BISOGARD 5 helps prevent complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. It is ideal for patients requiring long-term cardiovascular care and blood pressure management.

Key Ingredient:

Bisoprolol Fumarate (5 mg):
A highly selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker that primarily targets the heart. It slows down the heart rate, reduces cardiac output, and lowers blood pressure without significantly affecting other organs, making it effective and well-tolerated in most patients.

Key Benefits:

• Helps control high blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes

• Effectively manages chronic stable angina by reducing the heart’s oxygen demand

• Supports long-term treatment of chronic heart failure

• Helps maintain a stable heart rhythm

• Reduces symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, and shortness of breath

• Offers cardioselective action, minimizing side effects on the lungs and other organs

How Does It Work?

Bisoprolol, the active ingredient in BISOGARD 5, works by blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart. These receptors are responsible for the effects of adrenaline and other stress hormones that increase heart rate and blood pressure. By inhibiting these receptors:

• The heart rate is reduced, allowing the heart to pump more efficiently

• Blood pressure decreases, easing the strain on blood vessels

• The oxygen demand of the heart is lowered, helping prevent angina

• It also stabilizes cardiac rhythm, especially in patients with irregular heartbeat

This action results in better control of cardiovascular functions and lowers the risk of heart-related complications.

Directions for Use:

• Take BISOGARD 5 as prescribed by your physician

• Typically taken once daily, with or without food

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew

• Take the medication at the same time each day for best results

• Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor

• Regularly monitor blood pressure and heart rate during treatment

Side Effects:

While BISOGARD 5 is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience:

Common Side Effects:

• Tiredness or fatigue

• Slow heart rate (bradycardia)

• Dizziness or light-headedness

• Cold hands and feet

• Nausea or stomach upset

Rare/Serious Side Effects:

• Shortness of breath (especially in patients with asthma or COPD)

• Depression or mood changes

• Sleep disturbances

• Low blood pressure (hypotension)

• Worsening of heart failure symptoms

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe dizziness, fainting, breathing difficulty, or swelling in the legs.
