Bisbloc 5 Tablet

Bisbloc 5 Tablet contains 5 mg of bisoprolol in each tablet. Bisoprolol is a beta blocker used to help lower blood pressure, reduce the heart’s workload, and support treatment of certain heart conditions such as angina and heart failure when prescribed by a doctor. Bisbloc 5 Tablet is a standard oral tablet from Prevento Pharma, intended for people who need a prescription-strength bisoprolol dose.

How it works: Bisoprolol blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and reduces how hard the heart has to work. As a tablet, Bisbloc 5 Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to provide steady day-to-day control of heart rate and blood pressure.

Bisbloc 5 Tablet provides 5 mg per tablet, which is a common maintenance-strength dose rather than a starter dose for many patients. A doctor may choose Bisbloc 5 Tablet when a lower dose is no longer enough, or when the patient’s blood pressure and heart rate can tolerate this strength. Because it is a 5 mg tablet, it may feel stronger than lower bisoprolol strengths and should be used only as prescribed.

• High blood pressure
• Chest pain from angina
• Heart rate control in selected patients
• Heart failure, when prescribed by a clinician

• Swallow Bisbloc 5 Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber specifically says otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to help keep your dose routine consistent.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• Do not stop Bisbloc 5 Tablet suddenly, because stopping a beta blocker abruptly can worsen heart symptoms.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Follow your doctor’s exact instructions, since the right dose depends on your blood pressure, heart rate, and medical history.

Each Bisbloc 5 Tablet contains 5 mg of bisoprolol. It is usually taken once daily, but your doctor may adjust how often and how much you take based on your response; the maximum daily dose is determined by the prescribing clinician and your condition. Do not change the dose of Bisbloc 5 Tablet on your own, because this strength is intended to be individualized.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

• Tiredness or low energy
• Dizziness, especially when standing up
• Slow heart rate

• Bisbloc 5 Tablet may lower heart rate and blood pressure more noticeably in some people, so it should be used carefully if you already have a slow pulse or low blood pressure.
• Use caution if you have asthma, COPD, or a history of wheezing, because beta blockers can sometimes narrow the airways.
• Do not stop Bisbloc 5 Tablet suddenly without medical advice, especially if you take it for heart disease or angina.
• Be careful when standing up quickly, since dizziness or lightheadedness can happen.
• Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, because bisoprolol can hide some warning signs of low blood sugar such as a fast heartbeat.
• Alcohol can add to dizziness or lightheadedness.
• Use caution when driving until you know how Bisbloc 5 Tablet affects you.

• Other blood pressure medicines, including calcium channel blockers or diuretics
• Digoxin or other medicines that slow the heart
