How to take, the dosage

Interaction

The effectiveness and tolerability of drugs can be affected by the simultaneous use of other drugs. This interaction can also occur when two drugs are taken at short intervals. The physician should be informed about the use of other drugs, even if the use is made without a prescription.

The class I antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g., quinidine, disopyramide, lidocaine, phenytoin; flecainide, propafenone) when used concomitantly with bisoprolol may decrease AV conduction and myocardial contractility.

The class III antiarrhythmic agents (e.g., amiodarone) may increase AV conduction impairment.

The effects of beta-adrenoblockers for topical use (e.g. eye drops to treat glaucoma) may increase the systemic effects of bisoprolol (BP reduction, heart rate slowing).

Parasympathomimetics when used concomitantly with bisoprololol may increase AV conduction abnormalities and increase the risk of bradycardia.

The concomitant use of Bisoprolol-Teva with beta-adrenomimetics (e.g., isoprenaline, dobutamine) may decrease the effect of both drugs.

The combination of bisoprolol with adrenomimetics affecting beta- and alpha-adrenoreceptors (e.g. norepinephrine, epinephrine) may enhance the vasoconstrictor effects of these agents arising from alpha-adrenoreceptors, leading to increased BP. Such interactions are more likely when using non-selective beta-adrenoblockers.

Mefloquine when used concomitantly with bisoprolol may increase the risk of bradycardia.

Allergens used for immunotherapy or allergen extracts for skin tests increase the risk of severe systemic allergic reactions or anaphylaxis in patients receiving bisoprolol.

Iodine-containing x-ray contrast diagnostic agents for intravenous administration increase the risk of anaphylactic reactions.

Phenytoin when administered intravenously, agents for inhalation anesthesia (hydrocarbon derivatives) increase the severity of cardiodepressant effects and the likelihood of BP reduction.

The effectiveness of insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents may change with bisoprolol treatment (it masks the symptoms of developing hypoglycemia: tachycardia and increased BP).

The clearance of lidocaine and xanthines (except theophylline) may be decreased due to possible increase of their plasma concentrations, especially in patients with initially increased clearance of theophylline due to smoking.

The hypotensive effect is weakened by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (retention of sodium ions and blockade of prostaglandin synthesis by kidneys), glucocorticosteroids and estrogens (retention of sodium ions).

The cardiac glycosides, methyldopa, reserpine and guanfacine, slow calcium channel blockers (verapamil, diltiazem), amiodarone and other antiarrhythmic agents increase the risk of developing or worsening bradycardia, AV block, heart failure and heart failure.

Nifedipine can lead to a significant decrease in BP.

Diuretics, clonidine, sympatholytics, hydralazine, and other hypotensive agents can lead to excessive BP reduction.

The effects of nondepolarizing myorelaxants and the anticoagulant effect of coumarins may be prolonged during treatment with bisoprolol.

Tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics (neuroleptics), ethanol, sedatives and hypnotics increase central nervous system depression.

The concomitant use with MAO inhibitors is not recommended due to a significant increase in hypotensive effect. A treatment interval of at least 14 days between MAO inhibitors and bisoprolol should be observed.

Unhydrogenated ergot alkaloids increase the risk of peripheral circulatory disorders.

Ergotamine increases the risk of peripheral circulatory disorders.

Sulfasalazine increases the plasma concentration of bisoprolol.

Rifampicin shortens the half-life of bisoprolol.

Special Instructions

Control of patients taking Bisoprolol-Teva should include measurement of HR and BP, ECG, determination of blood glucose concentration in patients with diabetes mellitus (once every 4-5 months). In elderly patients it is recommended to monitor kidney function (once every 4-5 months).

The patient should be instructed on how to calculate heart rate and instructed to consult a physician if the heart rate is less than 50 bpm.

Patients with a history of bronchopulmonary problems should have an external respiratory function study before starting treatment.

Patients who wear contact lenses should note that there may be a decrease in tear fluid production during treatment with the drug.

The use of Bisoprolol-Teva in patients with pheochromocytoma has a risk of paradoxical arterial hypertension (if effective blockade of alpha–adrenoreceptors has not been previously achieved).

In thyrotoxicosis, bisoprolol may mask certain clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis (e.g., tachycardia). Abrupt withdrawal of the drug in patients with thyrotoxicosis is contraindicated because it may exacerbate the symptoms.

In diabetic patients may mask tachycardia caused by hypoglycemia. Unlike non-selective beta-adrenoblockers, it practically does not increase insulin-induced hypoglycemia and does not delay the recovery of blood glucose concentration to normal values.

If clonidine is used concomitantly, its administration may be discontinued only after several days of discontinuation of Bisoprolol-Teva.

The severity of hypersensitivity reactions and lack of effect of usual doses of epinephrine with a history of allergy may increase.

If planned surgical treatment is necessary, the drug should be discontinued 48 hours before general anesthesia. If the patient has taken the drug prior to surgical intervention, the patient should choose a general anesthesia drug with minimal negative inotropic effect.

The reciprocal activation of the vagus nerve may be relieved by intravenous injection of atropine (1-2 mg).

Drugs that deplete catecholamine depots (including reserpine) can potentiate the effects of beta-adrenoblockers, so patients taking these combinations of drugs should be kept under constant medical supervision for signs of marked BP reduction or bradycardia.

Patients with bronchospastic disorders may be prescribed cardioselective beta-adrenoblockers with caution if other hypotensive agents are intolerant and/or ineffective. Against the background of taking beta-adrenoblockers in patients with concomitant bronchial asthma, airway resistance may increase. If the dose of Bisoprolol-Teva is exceeded in such patients, there is a risk of bronchospasm.

If patients show increasing bradycardia (HR less than 50 beats/min), marked BP decrease (systolic BP less than 100 mm Hg), AV blockade, the dose should be reduced or treatment should be stopped.

It is recommended to discontinue therapy with Bisoprolol-Teva if depression develops.

Bisoprolol-Teva should not be stopped abruptly because of the risk of severe arrhythmias and myocardial infarction. The drug should be withdrawn gradually, reducing the dose over 2 weeks or more (reduce the dose by 25% every 3 to 4 days).

The drug should be discontinued before blood and urine concentrations of catecholamines, normetanephrine, vanillin acid, and antinuclear antibody titers are tested.

In smokers, the effectiveness of beta-adrenoblockers is lower.

Influence on ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery requiring increased concentration

The use of Bisoprolol-Teva does not affect the ability to drive according to the results of studies in patients with CHD. However, due to individual reactions the ability to drive vehicles or operate technically complex mechanisms may be impaired. Special attention should be paid to this in the beginning of treatment, after changing the dose, as well as in case of concomitant use of alcohol.
