Frequently asked questions FOR Bisoheart-T

Bisoprolol

Q. Is Bisoprolol a diuretic?
No, Bisoprolol is not a diuretic. Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker medicine which works by blocking the hyperactivity of the nerve impulses in the heart. This relaxes the heart muscles and eventually calms the heart.
Q. Is Bisoprolol effective?
Bisoprolol is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Bisoprolol too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Q. What is the best time to take Bisoprolol?
Bisoprolol can be taken anytime in the morning or evening, usually prescribed once daily. However, your very first dose of Bisoprolol may make you feel dizzy, so it is better to take your first dose at bedtime. After that, if you do not feel dizzy, you may take it any time of the day. Follow the advice of your doctor. It is advised to take it at the same time each day so that you remember to take it and consistent levels of medicine are maintained in the body.

Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Bisoprolol?
If you have missed a dose of Bisoprolol, take it as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take it in the regular schedule instead of taking the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.
Q. How many hours does Bisoprolol take to reduce high blood pressure?
Bisoprolol starts showing its effect within 2 hours, but it can take up to 2 to 6 weeks to reach its full effect. You may not feel any difference in blood pressure, but this does not mean that the medicine is not working. Take it exactly as directed by your doctor. It's important to keep taking your medicine in the prescribed dose and duration to get the maximum benefit of Bisoprolol.
Q. What if I take more than the prescribed dose of Bisoprolol?
If you take more than the prescribed dose, your heart rate may slow down and you may find it difficult to breathe. It can also cause dizziness and trembling. It is advised to go to a hospital immediately, but do not drive yourself to avoid any mishap. Get someone else to drive you or call for an ambulance. Take the Bisoprolol packet or leaflet inside it, plus any remaining medicine, with you.
Q. What are the most common side effects of Bisoprolol?
The most common side effects of Bisoprolol are cold extremities, fatigue, slow heart rate, nausea, diarrhea and dizziness. However, these are usually mild and short-lived and not everyone will experience these side effects. But, if these do not resolve and bother you, consult your doctor to know about ways of coping up with them. Your doctor may also suggest ways of preventing them in future.
Q. Can Bisoprolol cause dizziness? How do I prevent it?
Yes. Bisoprolol can cause dizziness as a side effect. If this happens to you, you should sit or lie down until the symptoms pass. However, this is temporary and usually goes away as the treatment continues. Also, you should avoid alcohol while taking it, as it may worsen the dizziness.

Inform your doctor if you are suffering or have suffered from metabolic acidosis (when there's too much acid in your blood), lung disease or asthma. Let your doctor know about all the other medicines you are taking because they may affect, or be affected by, this medicine. Tell your doctor if you're trying to get pregnant, are already pregnant or breastfeeding to prevent any harmful effects on the baby.

Therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor if you are planning a baby or if you become pregnant during the course of treatment with this medication.
Q. What other lifestyle changes should I make while taking Bisoprolol?
Lifestyle changes play a major role in keeping you healthy if you are taking Bisoprolol. Avoid taking excess salt in your diet and find ways to reduce or manage stress in your life. Practice yoga or meditation or take up a hobby. Ensure that you have a sound sleep every night as this also helps to reduce stress levels and helps to keep your blood pressure normal. Stop smoking and alcohol consumption as this helps in lowering your blood pressure and preventing heart problems. Exercise regularly and take a balanced diet that includes whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and fat-free products. Consult your doctor if you need any further guidance to get the maximum benefit of Bisoprolol and to keep yourself healthy.

Yes, Telmisartan can cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood). A regular monitoring of blood potassium levels may be advised by your doctor while taking this medicine.
Q. If I have some kidney problem, can I take Telmisartan? Can it further deteriorate my kidney function?

Q. I am overweight and the doctor has prescribed me Telmisartan for blood pressure control. I am bothered that Telmisartan can increase my weight. Is it true?
No, do not worry since Telmisartan is not known to cause weight gain. In fact in animal studies Telmisartan has been found to decrease fat tissue.
Q. Does Telmisartan affect blood glucose levels in diabetics?
Telmisartan may lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Therefore, it is essential to keep a regular track of your blood glucose levels. Talk to your doctor if you are a diabetic because the dose of insulin or antidiabetic medicines may need adjustment.
Q. Do I need to follow any precautions if I take ibuprofen and Telmisartan together?
If you are taking ibuprofen and Telmisartan together, you should continuously keep a check on your blood pressure and kidney function. Telmisartan may enhance the side effects of ibuprofen which may further cause water retention, especially in patients taking Telmisartan for heart failure. Ibuprofen may interfere with the working of Telmisartan and decrease its efficiency at lowering blood pressure.
Q. Does Telmisartan work by causing excessive urination?
No, Telmisartan does not cause excessive urination and does not belong to the diuretic class of medicines. Telmisartan works by relaxing the blood vessels by blocking the effect of a substance known as angiotensin II. This substance is responsible for increasing the blood pressure by narrowing down the blood vessels.
