Drug Interactions

This combination medicine may enhance the effects of other antihypertensive medications used at the same time. Other beta-blocking medications should not be taken with this combo therapy. Patients using catecholamine-depleting medicines like reserpine or guanethidine should be constantly watched because Bisoprolol Fumarate's additional beta-adrenergic blocking action may cause an excessive reduction in sympathetic activity. If clonidine therapy is to be stopped, it is recommended that this combo medicine be stopped for many days before the clonidine is stopped. When cardiac depressants or inhibitors of AV conduction, such as calcium antagonists (especially of the phenylethylamine [verapamil] and benzothiazepine [diltiazem] classes) or antiarrhythmic medicines, such as disopyramide, are administered concurrently, this combination medication should be used with caution. Beta-blockers and digitalis glycosides both delay atrioventricular conduction and lower heart rate. Concurrent use can put you at risk for bradycardia.

Contraindications

Cardiogenic shock, overt heart failure, second or third-degree AV block, significant sinus bradycardia, anuria, and hypersensitivity to any component of this medication or other sulfonamide-derived pharmaceuticals are all contraindications.

Mode of actions

Bisoprolol fumarate/hydrochlorothiazide is a fixed-combination pill that contains bisoprolol fumarate, a Beta adrenergic receptor blocker, and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic.

Bisoprolol fumarate, a beta(1)-adrenoceptor cardioselective inhibitor, has no inherent sympathomimetic or membrane-stabilizing activity in therapeutic doses, but inhibits beta(2)-adrenoceptors and has a negative chronotropic impact.

The thiazide diuretic hydrochlorothiazide inhibits Na reabsorption in the distal renal tubules, resulting in increased excretion of Na+, water, as well as K+ and H+ ions.
