Compound

One tablet may contain 2.5 mg, 5 mg or 10 mg of bisoprolol hemifumarate .
The excipients are: microcrystalline cellulose, calcium hydrogen phosphate, corn starch, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate and colloidal anhydrous silica.

The film shell of the tablets is made of lactose monohydrate, hypromellose, titanium dioxide, macrogol 4000.

The dyes used were: yellow and red iron (III) oxide (for a dosage of 10 mg).

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Bisoprolol is a selective β1-blocker that does not have sympathomimetic activity or membrane-stabilizing effect. The mechanism of action of the active compound in the treatment of arterial hypertension is still unclear. However, bisoprolol in the bloodstream reduces the activity of the proteolytic enzyme - renin , reduces the need of the heart muscle for oxygen and heart rate, and has a hypotensive, antiarrhythmic and antianginal effect.

Low doses of the drug lead to blocking of β1-adrenergic receptors of the heart, which inhibits the conversion of cyclic AMP from ATP , stimulated by catecholamines , which reduces the rate of intracellular flow of calcium ions, inhibits heart function, reducing its excitability and atrioventricular conduction. Taking a larger therapeutic dose of the drug causes a β2-adrenergic blocking effect. Due to the reciprocal increase in the activity of α-adrenergic receptors and the elimination of stimulation of β2-adrenergic receptors, the level of total peripheral vascular resistance increases on the first day of therapy, and then after 2-3 days it returns to the original level, and with prolonged use it decreases.

The antihypertensive effect of Bisoprolol is associated with a decrease in such indicators as minute blood , as well as with sympathetic stimulation of vessels in the periphery, with a decrease in the activity of the sympathetic-adrenal system and restoration of the ability to respond to a decrease in blood pressure . In patients with arterial hypertension, the effect develops on days 2-5 of therapy; 1-2 months are needed to achieve a stable effect.

The antianginal effect of the drug is ensured by a decrease in the oxygen demand of the heart muscle: not only contractility, but also other myocardial functions are reduced, diastole is prolonged and myocardial perfusion is improved. An increase in the final diastolic pressure in the left ventricular chamber and an increase in stretch can increase the need for muscle fibers for oxygen, especially in chronic heart failure (CHF) .

Biol in average therapeutic doses has a less pronounced effect on organs with β2-adrenergic receptors and carbohydrate metabolism, in contrast to non-selective β-blockers .

Pharmacokinetics of Bisoprolol

After oral administration, absorption from the gastrointestinal tract occurs almost completely - approximately 90%, regardless of nutrition. It takes 2 to 4 hours to reach maximum concentration in the bloodstream. The active compound binds to plasma proteins in the blood by 26-33%. After conversion in the liver, metabolites that do not have pharmacological activity. The half-life is 9-12 hours, so Biol can be taken once a day.

Excretion is primarily by the kidneys - up to 50% of unchanged substance, 2% is eliminated through the intestines.

Bisoprolol has low permeability through the blood-brain and placental barriers and is excreted in small quantities in milk.

Indications for use

The active substance Biola has an antihypertensive effect without its own sympathomimetic activity. As a result of the use of the drug, the minute volume of blood decreases, the activity of the sympathoadrenal system decreases and the myocardial need for oxygen decreases.

Side effects

Biol tablets can cause unwanted reactions, the frequency of occurrence and manifestations of which differ:

From the side of the cardiovascular system, very often (in ≤10% of patients) there is a decrease in heart rate and the development of bradycardia , a feeling of palpitations ; less than 1% of patients “often” experienced a decrease in blood pressure, vasospasm , paresthesia , infrequently (≤0.1%) - AV conduction disturbances, block and cardiac arrest arrhythmia , orthostatic hypotension , worsening CHF , peripheral edema and chest pain occurred .
“Frequent” adverse reactions of the nervous system and sensory organs: dizziness , headaches , asthenia , fatigue, anxiety, sleep disturbances, depression , rare cases (≤0.01%) of confusion, short-term memory loss, nightmares, hallucinations , myasthenia , tremor , convulsions , visual disturbances, decreased lacrimation and dryness (important to consider when using lenses), possible noise, ear pain and hearing loss, conjunctivitis .
bronchospasm develops against the background of bronchial asthma or COPD ; Allergic rhinitis rarely occurs .
Nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea , dry mouth, hepatitis , increased ALT and AST bilirubin concentrations , and rarely triglycerides .
Cases of arthralgia and back pain are uncommon.
Very rarely, patients complain of impaired potency and weakened libido.
There have been isolated reports of thrombocytopenia , agranulocytosis , and leukopenia .
Rare allergic reactions have manifested themselves in the form of skin itching , rash and urticaria .
On the part of the epidermis , sweating rarely increased, hyperemia , exanthema , and psoriasis-like reactions occurred; even more rarely - alopecia, exacerbation of psoriasis .
After stopping taking Biol tablets, withdrawal syndrome , which leads to an increase in angina and an increase in blood pressure .

Biol tablets, instructions for use (method and dosage)

Biol tablets are recommended to be taken orally, in the morning, before or during breakfast, whole, with a small amount of water, once every 24 hours.

The instructions for use describe standard treatment regimens, however, in each individual case, the attending physician must select therapeutic regimens taking into account the heart rate and condition of the patient.

For arterial hypertension and coronary artery disease:

The daily dose is 5 mg, but can be increased to 10 mg.

Patients suffering from arterial hypertension and angina pectoris are prescribed at least 20 mg per day.

For CHF:

The minimum initial dose is 1.25 mg, which can be increased after analyzing the tolerability of the drug - first to 2.5 mg, then to 3.75 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg and a maximum after 2 weeks. – 10 mg. If therapy causes deterioration, it is better to consider reducing the dose.

Selection of dosage requires regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate . If the symptoms of CHF , arterial hypotension or bradycardia , it is necessary to select, first of all, standard doses of concomitant therapy and reduce the doses of the drug Biol, up to the discontinuation of treatment.

Biol

Monitoring of patients receiving treatment with the drug should include monitoring heart rate and blood pressure (at the beginning of treatment - daily, then once every 3-4 months), ECG, blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes (once every 4-5 months) . In elderly patients, it is recommended to monitor renal function (once every 4-5 months). After starting treatment for CHF at a dose of 1.25 mg, the patient should be examined within 4 hours (heart rate, blood pressure, ECG).

The patient should be taught how to calculate heart rate and instructed about the need for medical consultation if the heart rate is less than 50/min.

Before starting treatment, it is recommended to conduct a study of external respiratory function in patients with a burdened bronchopulmonary history.

In approximately 20% of patients with angina, beta blockers are ineffective. The main causes are severe coronary atherosclerosis with a low ischemic threshold (heart rate less than 100/min) and increased LV EDV, which impairs subendocardial blood flow. In smokers, the effectiveness of beta-blockers is lower.

Patients using contact lenses should take into account that during treatment the production of tear fluid may decrease.

When used in patients with pheochromocytoma, there is a risk of developing paradoxical arterial hypertension (if effective alpha-blockade is not previously achieved).

In thyrotoxicosis, bisoprolol may mask certain clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis (for example, tachycardia). Abrupt withdrawal in patients with thyrotoxicosis is contraindicated because it can increase symptoms.

In diabetes mellitus, it can mask tachycardia caused by hypoglycemia. Unlike non-selective beta-blockers, it practically does not enhance insulin-induced hypoglycemia and does not delay the restoration of blood glucose to normal levels.

When taking clonidine concomitantly, it can be discontinued only a few days after discontinuation of the drug.

It is possible that the severity of the hypersensitivity reaction may increase and the absence of effect from usual doses of epinephrine against the background of a burdened allergic history.

If planned surgical treatment is necessary, the drug should be discontinued 48 hours before the start of general anesthesia. If the patient took the drug before surgery, he should select a drug for general anesthesia with minimal negative inotropic effect.

Reciprocal activation of the n.vagus can be eliminated by intravenous administration of atropine (1-2 mg).

Drugs that reduce catecholamine reserves (for example, reserpine) can enhance the effect of beta-blockers, so patients taking such combinations of drugs should be under constant medical supervision to detect arterial hypotension or bradycardia.

Patients with bronchospastic diseases can be prescribed cardioselective adrenergic blockers in case of intolerance and/or ineffectiveness of other antihypertensive drugs, but the dosage should be strictly monitored. An overdose is dangerous due to the development of bronchospasm.

If elderly patients develop increasing bradycardia (less than 50/min), arterial hypotension (systolic blood pressure below 100 mm Hg), AV block, bronchospasm, ventricular arrhythmias, severe liver and kidney dysfunction, it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop treatment . It is recommended to discontinue therapy if depression caused by taking beta-blockers develops.

Treatment should not be abruptly interrupted due to the risk of developing severe arrhythmias and myocardial infarction. Cancellation is carried out gradually, reducing the dose over 2 weeks or more (reduce the dose by 25% in 3-4 days).

Use during pregnancy and lactation is possible if the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk of side effects in the fetus and child.

Treatment with bisoprolol should be discontinued before testing the levels of catecholamines, normetanephrine and vanillylmandelic acid in the blood and urine; antinuclear antibody titers.

During the treatment period, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Overdose

Manifests itself in the form of symptoms such as:

arrhythmia;
severe bradycardia ;
AV block;
ventricular extrasystole;
decrease in blood pressure;
labored breathing;
bronchospasm;
development of acute heart failure, hypoglycemia , acrocyanosis ;
dizziness, fainting and convulsions.

First aid and symptomatic treatment measures

gastric lavage and taking adsorbents;
severe bradycardia is eliminated by intravenous administration of Atropine or, if necessary, a drug with a positive pronounced chronotropic effect;
temporarily install an artificial pacemaker;
a pronounced decrease in blood pressure can be corrected by intravenous administration of plasma replacement drugs and vasopressors ;
hypoglycemia requires intravenous administration of Glucagon or Dextrose ;
exacerbation of CHF - IV diuretics , possibly vasodilators ;
for AV blockade, β-adrenergic agonists are prescribed , for example, Epinephrine ;
when bronchospasm bronchodilators are used , incl. β-adrenergic agonists and/or Aminophylline .

Instructions for medical use of the drug

Description of pharmacological action

Bisoprolol is a selective beta1-blocker, without its own sympathomimetic activity, and does not have a membrane-stabilizing effect. As with other beta1-blockers, the mechanism of action in hypertension is unclear. At the same time, it is known that bisoprolol reduces the activity of renin in the blood plasma, reduces the myocardial oxygen demand, and reduces heart rate. It has hypotensive, antiarrhythmic and antianginal effects. By blocking beta1-adrenergic receptors of the heart in low doses, it reduces the formation of cAMP from ATP stimulated by catecholamines, reduces the intracellular current of calcium ions, inhibits all functions of the heart, reduces AV conductivity and excitability. When the therapeutic dose is exceeded, it has a beta2-adrenergic blocking effect. OPSS at the beginning of drug use, in the first 24 hours, increases (as a result of a reciprocal increase in the activity of alpha-adrenergic receptors and the elimination of stimulation of beta2-adrenergic receptors), after 1-3 days it returns to the original value, and with long-term use it decreases. The antihypertensive effect is associated with a decrease in minute blood volume, sympathetic stimulation of peripheral vessels, a decrease in the activity of the sympathoadrenal system (SAS) (of great importance for patients with initial renin hypersecretion), restoration of sensitivity in response to a decrease in blood pressure and an effect on the central nervous system. In arterial hypertension, the effect develops after 2–5 days, a stable effect is observed after 1–2 months. The antianginal effect is due to a decrease in myocardial oxygen demand as a result of decreased contractility and other myocardial functions, prolongation of diastole, and improved myocardial perfusion. Due to increased end-diastolic pressure in the left ventricle and increased stretch of ventricular muscle fibers, oxygen demand may increase, especially in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). When used in average therapeutic doses, in contrast to non-selective beta-blockers, it has a less pronounced effect on organs containing beta2-adrenergic receptors (pancreas, skeletal muscles, smooth muscles of peripheral arteries, bronchi and uterus), and on carbohydrate metabolism; does not cause sodium ion retention in the body; the severity of the atherogenic effect does not differ from the effect of propranolol.

Indications for use

- arterial hypertension; — IHD (prevention of attacks of stable angina); — CHF (as part of combination therapy).

Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacokinetics

Bisoprolol is almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; food intake does not affect absorption. Bioavailability - about 90%. Tmax is 2–4 hours after oral administration. Binding to plasma proteins is 26–33%. Metabolized in the liver, bisoprolol metabolites do not have pharmacological activity. T1/2 is 9–12 hours, which makes it possible to use the drug once a day. Excreted by the kidneys - 50% unchanged, less than 2% - through the intestines. Permeability through the blood-brain and placental barrier is low, and is excreted in small quantities in breast milk.

Use during pregnancy

Bisoprolol does not have direct cytotoxic, mutagenic or teratogenic effects, but has pharmacological effects that may have a harmful effect on pregnancy and/or the fetus or newborn. Typically, beta blockers reduce placental perfusion, leading to reduced fetal growth, intrauterine fetal death, miscarriage, or premature birth. The fetus and newborn child may experience pathological reactions, such as intrauterine growth retardation, hypoglycemia, and bradycardia. The drug Biol® should not be used during pregnancy; use is possible if the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk of side effects in the fetus and/or child. In the event that treatment with Biol® is considered necessary, blood flow in the placenta and uterus should be monitored, as well as the growth and development of the unborn child, and in the event of adverse events in relation to pregnancy and/or the fetus, alternative methods of therapy should be used . The newborn should be carefully examined after birth. Symptoms of hypoglycemia and bradycardia usually occur during the first 3 days of life. Breastfeeding period. There is no data on the penetration of bisoprolol into breast milk. Therefore, the use of Biol® is not recommended for women during breastfeeding. If it is necessary to use the drug during lactation, breastfeeding should be stopped.

Contraindications for use

Directions for use and doses

Orally, in the morning, on an empty stomach (before breakfast), during breakfast or after it, 1 time per day with a small amount of liquid. The tablets should not be chewed or crushed into powder. In all cases, the doctor selects the dosage regimen and dose individually for each patient, in particular taking into account the heart rate and condition of the patient. Arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease For arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease, Biol® is used at a dose of 5 mg 1 time per day. If necessary, the dose is increased to 10 mg 1 time per day. In the treatment of arterial hypertension and angina pectoris, the maximum daily dose is 20 mg 1 time / day. CHF Beginning treatment for CHF with Biol® requires a special titration phase and regular medical supervision. The precondition for treatment with Biol® is stable CHF without signs of exacerbation. Treatment of CHF with Biol® begins in accordance with the following titration scheme. This may require individual adaptation, depending on how well the patient tolerates the prescribed dose, i.e. The dose can only be increased if the previous dose was well tolerated. To ensure an appropriate titration process, it is recommended to use the drug in lower doses in the initial stages of treatment. The recommended starting dose is 1.25 mg (1/4 tablet of 5 mg) once a day. Depending on individual tolerance, the dose should be gradually increased to 2.5 mg (1/2 tablet of the drug Biol®, 5 mg each), 3.75 mg (3/4 tablets, 5 mg each), 5 mg (1 tablet of the drug Biol® 5 mg or 1/2 tablet of 10 mg), 7.5 mg (3/4 tablet of 10 mg) and 10 mg once a day with an interval of at least 2 weeks. If increasing the dose of the drug is poorly tolerated by the patient, a dose reduction may be possible. The maximum daily dose for the treatment of CHF is 10 mg 1 time per day. During titration, regular monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate and symptoms of increasing severity of heart failure is recommended. Worsening of the symptoms of CHF is possible from the first day of using the drug. During the titration phase or after it, a temporary worsening of CHF, arterial hypotension or bradycardia may occur. In this case, it is recommended first of all to pay attention to the selection of the dose of concomitant standard therapy. It may also be necessary to temporarily reduce the dose of Biol® by 5 mg or discontinue treatment. After stabilization of the patient's condition, the dose should be re-titrated or treatment should be continued. Renal or hepatic impairment Mild or moderate hepatic or renal impairment usually does not require dose adjustment. In case of severe renal dysfunction (creatinine Cl less than 20 ml/min) and in patients with severe liver disease, the maximum daily dose is 10 mg. Increasing the dose in such patients should be carried out with extreme caution. Elderly patients No dose adjustment is required. To date, there is insufficient data regarding the use of Biol® 5 mg in patients with CHF associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus, severe renal and/or liver dysfunction, restrictive cardiomyopathy, congenital heart defects or hemodynamically determined heart disease. Also, sufficient data have not yet been obtained regarding patients with CHF with myocardial infarction within the last 3 months.

Overdose

Symptoms: arrhythmia, ventricular extrasystole, severe bradycardia, AV block, marked decrease in blood pressure, acute heart failure, hypoglycemia, acrocyanosis, difficulty breathing, bronchospasm, dizziness, fainting, convulsions. Treatment: if an overdose occurs, first of all you need to stop taking the drug, perform gastric lavage, take adsorbents, and carry out symptomatic therapy. For severe bradycardia, intravenous administration of atropine. If the effect is insufficient, a drug with a positive chronotropic effect can be administered with caution. Sometimes temporary placement of an artificial pacemaker may be necessary. With a pronounced decrease in blood pressure, intravenous administration of plasma-substituting solutions and vasopressors. For hypoglycemia, intravenous administration of glucagon or dextrose (glucose) may be indicated. For AV block, patients should be closely monitored and treated with β-agonists such as epinephrine. If necessary, install an artificial pacemaker. In case of exacerbation of CHF, intravenous administration of diuretics, drugs with a positive inotropic effect, as well as vasodilators. For bronchospasm - prescribing bronchodilators, incl. β-adrenergic agonists and/or aminophylline.

Interactions with other drugs

Class I antiarrhythmic drugs (for example, quinidine, disopyramide, lidocaine, phenytoin, flecainide, propafenone), when used simultaneously with bisoprolol, can reduce AV conduction and myocardial contractility. Class III antiarrhythmic drugs (eg amiodarone) may worsen AV conduction disturbances. The effect of beta-blockers for topical use (for example, eye drops for the treatment of glaucoma) may enhance the systemic effects of bisoprolol (lowering blood pressure, lowering heart rate). Parasympathomimetics, when used simultaneously with bisoprolol, may enhance AV conduction disturbances and increase the risk of developing bradycardia. The simultaneous use of Biol® with beta-agonists (for example, isoprenaline, dobutamine) may lead to a decrease in the effect of both drugs. The combination of bisoprolol with adrenergic agonists that affect beta and alpha adrenergic receptors (for example, norepinephrine, epinephrine) may enhance the vasoconstrictor effects of these drugs that occur with the participation of alpha adrenergic receptors, leading to an increase in blood pressure. Such interactions are more likely when using non-selective beta-blockers. Mefloquine, when used simultaneously with bisoprolol, may increase the risk of bradycardia. Allergens used for immunotherapy or allergen extracts for skin testing increase the risk of severe systemic allergic reactions or anaphylaxis in patients receiving bisoprolol. Iodine-containing radiopaque diagnostic agents for intravenous administration increase the risk of developing anaphylactic reactions. Phenytoin, when administered intravenously, and agents for inhalation anesthesia (hydrocarbon derivatives) increase the severity of the cardiodepressive effect and the likelihood of lowering blood pressure. The effectiveness of insulin and hypoglycemic agents for oral administration may change during treatment with bisoprolol (masks the symptoms of developing hypoglycemia: tachycardia, increased blood pressure). The clearance of lidocaine and xanthines (except theophylline) may be reduced due to a possible increase in their concentration in the blood plasma, especially in patients with an initially increased clearance of theophylline under the influence of smoking. The hypotensive effect is weakened by NSAIDs (sodium ion retention and blockade of PG synthesis by the kidneys), corticosteroids and estrogens (sodium ion retention). Cardiac glycosides, methyldopa, reserpine and guanfacine, BMCC (verapamil, diltiazem), amiodarone and other antiarrhythmic drugs increase the risk of developing or worsening bradycardia, AV block, cardiac arrest and heart failure. Nifedipine can lead to a significant decrease in blood pressure. Diuretics, clonidine, sympatholytics, hydralazine and other antihypertensive drugs can lead to an excessive decrease in blood pressure. The effect of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants and the anticoagulant effect of coumarins may be prolonged during treatment with bisoprolol. Tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics (neuroleptics), ethanol, sedatives and hypnotics increase CNS depression. Concomitant use with MAO inhibitors is not recommended due to a significant increase in the hypotensive effect. The treatment break between taking MAO inhibitors and bisoprolol should be at least 14 days. Non-hydrogenated ergot alkaloids, incl. ergotamine increases the risk of developing peripheral circulatory disorders. Sulfasalazine increases the concentration of bisoprolol in the blood plasma. Rifampin shortens T1/2 of bisoprolol.

Special instructions for use

Treatment with Biol® should not be abruptly interrupted due to the risk of developing severe arrhythmias and myocardial infarction. Cancellation is carried out gradually, reducing the dose by 25% every 3-4 days. Monitoring the condition of patients taking the drug Biol® should include measuring heart rate and blood pressure (at the beginning of treatment - daily, then - once every 3-4 months), conducting an ECG, determining the concentration of blood glucose in patients with diabetes mellitus (once every 4 months). -5 months). In elderly patients, it is recommended to monitor renal function (once every 4–5 months). The patient should be trained in the method of calculating heart rate and instructed about the need for medical consultation if the heart rate is less than 50 beats/min. If increasing bradycardia (heart rate less than 50 beats/min), a pronounced decrease in blood pressure (sBP less than 100 mmHg), or AV blockade is detected in elderly patients, it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop treatment. Before starting treatment, it is recommended to conduct a study of external respiratory function in patients with a burdened bronchopulmonary history. Patients who use contact lenses should take into account that during treatment with the drug, the production of tear fluid may decrease. When using the drug Biol® in patients with pheochromocytoma, there is a risk of developing paradoxical arterial hypertension (if effective blockade of alpha-adrenergic receptors is not previously achieved). In hyperthyroidism, bisoprolol may mask certain clinical signs of hyperthyroidism (for example, tachycardia). Abrupt withdrawal of the drug in patients with hyperthyroidism is contraindicated as it can increase symptoms. In diabetes mellitus, it can mask tachycardia caused by hypoglycemia. Unlike non-selective beta-blockers, it practically does not enhance insulin-induced hypoglycemia and does not delay the restoration of blood glucose concentrations to normal values. When using clonidine simultaneously, its use can be discontinued only a few days after discontinuation of the Biol® drug. It is possible that the severity of the hypersensitivity reaction may increase and there will be no effect from usual doses of epinephrine against the background of a burdened allergic history. If planned surgical treatment is necessary, the drug should be discontinued 48 hours before general anesthesia. If the patient took the drug before surgery, he should select a drug for general anesthesia with minimal negative inotropic effect. Reciprocal activation of the vagus nerve can be eliminated by intravenous atropine (1–2 mg). Drugs that deplete the catecholamine depot (including reserpine) can enhance the effect of beta-blockers, so patients taking such combinations of drugs should be under constant medical supervision to detect a pronounced decrease in blood pressure or bradycardia. Patients with bronchospastic diseases may be prescribed cardioselective beta-blockers with caution in case of intolerance and/or ineffectiveness of other antihypertensive drugs. While taking beta-blockers in patients with concomitant bronchial asthma, airway resistance may increase. If the dose of Biol® is exceeded in such patients, there is a risk of developing bronchospasm. If increasing bradycardia (heart rate less than 50 beats/min), a pronounced decrease in blood pressure (sBP less than 100 mm Hg), or AV blockade is detected in patients, it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop treatment. It is recommended to discontinue therapy with Biol® if depression develops. Treatment should not be abruptly interrupted due to the risk of developing severe arrhythmias and myocardial infarction. The drug is discontinued gradually, reducing the dose over 2 weeks or more (reduce the dose by 25% in 3-4 days). The drug should be discontinued before testing the concentrations of catecholamines, normetanephrine, vanillinmandelic acid, and antinuclear antibody titers in the blood and urine. Beta blockers are less effective in smokers. Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and perform other activities that require concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions. During treatment with Biol®, care must be taken when driving vehicles and performing other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

special instructions

If planned surgical treatment is necessary, the drug should be discontinued at least 2 days before the upcoming general anesthesia or another drug should be selected that has minimal negative inotropic effects.

Stop taking Biol also before testing the level in the blood or urine of such drugs as: catecholamines , Normetanephrine , vanillinmandelic acid , titers of antinuclear antibodies .

In patients who smoke, the effectiveness of β-blockers is reduced.

Biol, 2.5 mg, film-coated tablets, 30 pcs.

Monitoring the condition of patients taking the drug Biol® should include measuring heart rate and blood pressure (at the beginning of treatment - daily, then - once every 3-4 months), conducting an ECG, determining the concentration of blood glucose in patients with diabetes mellitus (once every 4 months). -5 months).

In elderly patients, it is recommended to monitor renal function (once every 4–5 months).

The patient should be trained in the method of calculating heart rate and instructed about the need for medical consultation if the heart rate is less than 50 beats/min.

If increasing bradycardia (heart rate less than 50 beats/min), a pronounced decrease in blood pressure (sBP less than 100 mmHg), or AV blockade is detected in elderly patients, it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop treatment. Before starting treatment, it is recommended to conduct a study of external respiratory function in patients with a burdened bronchopulmonary history.

Patients who use contact lenses should take into account that during treatment with the drug, the production of tear fluid may decrease.
