C07FB07 • bisoprolol + amlodipine • Cardiovascular system | Beta blocking agents, other combinations | Beta blocking agents and calcium channel blockers

The combination of bisoprolol and amlodipine is used to treat hypertension and angina pectoris. Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker that reduces heart rate and blood pressure, while amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow.

The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, as directed by a doctor. It is important for patients to follow the prescribed dosage and not discontinue treatment without consulting their doctor.

Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, swelling of the legs (edema), and headaches. In rare cases, more severe adverse effects such as excessive blood pressure reduction or breathing difficulties may occur.

This combination is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Patients with severe heart failure or liver disease should consult their doctor before starting treatment.
