Indicated for: hypertension
Substance: bisoprolol + hydrochlorothiazide (beta blocker + diuretic)
ATC: C07BB07 (Cardiovascular system | Beta blocking agents and thiazides | Beta blocking agents, selective, and thiazides)
The combination of bisoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide is used to treat hypertension. Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker that reduces heart rate and blood pressure, while hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps eliminate excess water and salt from the body, thereby reducing blood volume.
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, nausea, and dry mouth. In rare cases, more severe adverse effects such as excessive blood pressure reduction, electrolyte imbalances, or allergic reactions may occur.
This combination is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Patients with severe kidney failure or other chronic conditions should consult their doctor before starting treatment.
