Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Bisoprolol hemifumarate is a selective beta1-blocker that does not have its own sympathomimetic activity and does not have a membrane stabilizing effect.
The drug reduces the activity of blood plasma renin, slows down the heart rate (both at rest and during exercise), reduces myocardial oxygen demand. It has antiarrhythmic, antianginal and hypotensive effects. When used in low doses, it blocks beta1-adrenergic receptors of the heart, thereby reducing the formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stimulated by catecholamines. It has a negative batmo-, dromo-, chrono- and inotropic effect. Reduces atrioventricular conductivity and excitability, as well as the intracellular current of calcium ions (Ca 2+).
When the recommended therapeutic doses are exceeded, it has a beta2-adrenergic blocking effect.
In the first 24 hours of using the drug, the total peripheral vascular resistance increases, after 1–3 days it returns to its initial value, with prolonged use it decreases.
The hypotensive effect of Bisoprolol-Prana is due to its ability to reduce the minute blood volume, stimulate peripheral vessels, and affect the central nervous system. It is also associated with the restoration of sensitivity in response to a decrease in blood pressure (blood pressure). With arterial hypertension, improvement is noted after 2–5 days, a stable effect - after 1–2 months.
The antianginal effect of the drug is due to its ability to lengthen diastoles and improve myocardial perfusion, as well as to slow down the heart rate and reduce myocardial contractility, as a result of which myocardial oxygen demand decreases.
Due to an increase in the end-diastolic pressure in the left ventricle and an increase in the stretching of the muscle fibers of the ventricles, oxygen demand may increase in some patients, especially with concomitant chronic heart failure.
Bisoprolol hemifumarate, used in medium therapeutic doses, in contrast to non-selective beta-blockers, has a less pronounced effect on carbohydrate metabolism and organs with beta2-adrenergic receptors (skeletal muscles, pancreas, smooth muscles of the bronchi, peripheral arteries and uterus).
The severity of the atherogenic effect of bisoprolol does not differ from that of propranolol.
Bisoprolol-Prana does not cause retention of sodium ions (Na +) in the body.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, bisoprolol is absorbed by 80–90% from the gastrointestinal tract. Food does not affect absorption. The maximum concentration in the blood reaches within 1-3 hours. It is characterized by a low binding to plasma proteins (about 30%) and a low ability to penetrate the placental and blood-brain barriers.
About 50% of the dose taken is metabolized in the liver to form inactive metabolites. Approximately 98% is excreted by the kidneys (50% of them - unchanged), no more than 2% - with bile through the intestines.

The doctor selects the optimal dose individually, taking into account the heart rate and therapeutic response.
At the beginning of therapy, adult patients are prescribed 5 mg. If the effect is insufficient, the dose is increased to 10 mg once.
The maximum daily dose of Bisoprolol-Pran should not exceed 20 mg, for patients with impaired renal function and severe hepatic impairment - 10 mg.
Side effects

- from the central and peripheral nervous system: myasthenia gravis, tremor, asthenia, anxiety, headache, fatigue, sleep disorders, dizziness, depression, weakness, paresthesia in the extremities (with concomitant intermittent claudication or Raynaud's syndrome), hallucinations, confusion or short-term memory loss, cramps (including the calf muscles);
- from the respiratory system: nasal congestion; when prescribed in high doses and / or in predisposed patients - difficulty breathing, laryngo- and bronchospasm;
- from the digestive system: changes in taste, abdominal pain, dryness of the oral mucosa, diarrhea / constipation, nausea, vomiting, liver dysfunction (yellowness of the sclera / skin, dark urine, cholestasis);
- from the endocrine system: hypothyroidism; in patients receiving insulin - hypoglycemia; in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes - hyperglycemia;

- allergic reactions: skin rashes, itching, urticaria;
- laboratory parameters: agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia (unusual hemorrhages and bleeding), leukopenia, changes in triglyceride and bilirubin levels, increased activity of liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase);
- others: withdrawal syndrome (increased blood pressure, increased angina attacks), arthralgia, back pain, decreased potency, weakened libido;
- effect on the fetus: hypoglycemia, intrauterine growth retardation, bradycardia.
Overdose
Symptoms: dizziness, fainting, cyanosis of fingernails or palms, marked decrease in blood pressure, severe bradycardia, ventricular AV block, extrasystole, arrhythmia, chronic heart failure, difficulty breathing, bronchospasm, convulsions.
After a recent intake of too high a dose, gastric lavage and absorption of adsorbents are recommended. Further treatment is symptomatic.
In the case of a decrease in blood pressure, the patient should take the Trendelenburg position (lying on his back at an angle of 45 ° with the pelvis raised in relation to the head). If there are no signs of pulmonary edema, plasma-substituting solutions are injected intravenously, if ineffective - dopamine, epinephrine, dobutamine (to eliminate a pronounced decrease in blood pressure, maintain ino- and chronotropic action).
In case of bronchospasm, beta2-adrenostimulants are prescribed by inhalation; with ventricular premature beats - lidocaine (the use of class IA drugs is contraindicated); with heart failure - glucagon, diuretics, cardiac glycosides; for convulsions - intravenous diazepam; with AV blockade - intravenous administration of atropine (1-2 mg), epinephrine, or a temporary setting of a pacemaker is recommended.
special instructions
During treatment, it is necessary to monitor blood pressure and heart rate (at the beginning of therapy - every day, then - every 3-4 months), an electrocardiogram. Patients with diabetes mellitus are shown to determine the concentration of glucose in the blood - every 4–5 months. In elderly patients, it is necessary to monitor renal function - every 4–5 months.
Patients who are prescribed Bisoprolol-Prana should be trained in the method of calculating the heart rate (HR) and instructed to consult a doctor if this indicator is less than 50 beats per minute.
In patients with a burdened bronchopulmonary history, it is recommended to conduct a study of the function of external respiration before prescribing the drug.
With thyrotoxicosis, bisoprolol can mask some of the clinical signs of this disease (for example, tachycardia). Abrupt withdrawal of therapy is contraindicated in such patients, since symptoms may increase.
In diabetes mellitus, Bisoprolol-Prana can mask tachycardia caused by hypoglycemia. Unlike non-selective beta-blockers, bisoprolol practically does not increase insulin-induced hypoglycemia and does not delay the restoration of blood glucose levels to normal levels.
If an effective alpha-blockade is not previously achieved in patients with pheochromocytoma, bisoprolol increases the risk of developing paradoxical arterial hypertension.
Against the background of a burdened allergic history, there is a likelihood of an increase in the severity of hypersensitivity reactions and the lack of effect from the use of conventional doses of epinephrine.
Beta-blockers are ineffective in about 20% of patients with angina pectoris. The most common causes are severe coronary atherosclerosis with a low ischemic threshold (heart rate less than 100 beats / minute) and an increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume, which disrupts subendocardial blood flow.
The effectiveness of beta-blockers is reduced by smoking.
It is necessary to cancel Bisoprolol-Prana in case of depression, as well as before conducting a study on the content of catecholamines, vanillyl mandelic acid and normetanephrine in urine and blood, as well as antinuclear antibody titers.
The drug can reduce the production of tear fluid, which should be considered in patients who use contact lenses.
When prescribing a planned surgical intervention, Bisoprolol-Prana should be canceled 48 hours before general anesthesia. If the drug was taken before the operation, the patient should be warned about this by the anesthesiologist so that he selects an anesthetic agent with the least negative inotropic effect.
Reciprocal activation of the vagus nerve is eliminated by intravenous administration of atropine at a dose of 1–2 mg.
Patients with bronchospastic diseases with intolerance and / or ineffectiveness of other antihypertensive drugs can be prescribed cardioselective beta-blockers. An overdose in them is fraught with the development of bronchospasm.
The effect of bisoprolol can be enhanced by drugs that reduce the reserves of catecholamines (including reserpine), therefore, patients receiving such combinations need careful medical supervision in order to detect a pronounced decrease in blood pressure or the development of bradycardia in time.
With increasing bradycardia in elderly patients (heart rate less than 50 beats per minute), a pronounced decrease in blood pressure (systolic below 100 mm Hg), the development of atrioventricular block, the dose of bisoprolol should be reduced or therapy should be discontinued.
Due to the risk of a withdrawal syndrome (may manifest as severe arrhythmias, myocardial infarction), Bisoprolol-Prana should be withdrawn gradually, with a dose reduction over two or more weeks (by 25% every 3-4 days).
Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms
The degree of restrictions on the performance of potentially dangerous and complex types of work during drug therapy, especially at the beginning of treatment, is decided on an individual basis, after evaluating the effect of bisoprolol on the patient. The risk of dizziness must be considered.
Application during pregnancy and lactation
The use of Bisoprolol-Prana during pregnancy is not recommended, but it is possible in cases where the expected benefit to the woman outweighs the potential risks to the fetus. In exceptional cases of taking the drug during pregnancy, 72 hours before the intended delivery, bisoprolol should be canceled, since there is a risk of hypoglycemia, arterial hypotension and bradycardia in the newborn, as well as respiratory depression. If the cancellation of therapy is not possible, in the first three days the newborn should be under close medical supervision.
When drug treatment is required during lactation, breastfeeding must be discontinued.
Pediatric use
Under the age of 18, Bisoprolol-Prana is contraindicated.
With impaired renal function
Patients with chronic renal failure should be treated with caution. Do not exceed the daily dose of Bisoprolol-Pran 10 mg.
For violations of liver function
Patients with hepatic impairment should be treated with caution. Do not exceed a daily dose of 10 mg.
Use in the elderly
In old age, Bisoprolol-Prana should be used with caution. No dose adjustment is required.
Drug interactions
It should be borne in mind that bisoprolol:
- changes the effectiveness of oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin, masks the symptoms of developing hypoglycemia (tachycardia, increased blood pressure);
- decreases clearance and increases plasma concentrations of xanthines (with the exception of theophylline) and lidocaine;
- lengthens the action of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants;
- increases the anticoagulant effect of coumarins.
The antihypertensive effect of bisoprolol is weakened by estrogens, glucocorticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
With the simultaneous use of nifedipine, sympatholytics, diuretics, clonidine, hydralazine or other antihypertensive drugs, an excessive decrease in blood pressure is possible.
Ethanol, antipsychotics (neuroleptics), tri- and tetracyclic antidepressants, hypnotics and sedatives increase the depression of the central nervous system.
Nonhydrogenated ergot alkaloids increase the likelihood of developing peripheral circulatory disorders, intravenous iodine-containing X-ray contrast agents - anaphylactic reactions.
With the combined use of blockers of slow calcium channels (for example, diltiazem or verapamil), cardiac glycosides, guanfacine, reserpine, methyldopa, amiodarone or other antiarrhythmic drugs, the risk of developing or aggravating existing bradycardia, AV blockade, developing heart failure, cardiac arrest increases.
Phenytoin (when used intravenously) and inhalation anesthetics, which are derivatives of hydrocarbons, increase the severity of the cardiodepressant effect, increase the likelihood of lowering blood pressure.
Rifampicin reduces the half-life of bisoprolol. Sulfasalazine increases its concentration in blood plasma.
When using ergotamine simultaneously with Bisoprolol-Prana, the risk of developing peripheral circulatory disorders increases.
For patients undergoing bisoprolol therapy, skin tests using allergen extracts and the appointment of allergens for immunotherapy are contraindicated, since it increases the risk of severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis.
Bisoprolol-Prana is not recommended to be combined with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, since they significantly enhance its hypotensive effect. The break in the use of these funds must be at least 14 days.
