It is necessary to teach the patient how to calculate heart rate and instruct about the need for medical consultation at a heart rate of less than 50 beats per minute.
Before the start of treatment, it is recommended to perform an external respiration function in patients with a history of bronchopulmonary anamnesis. Approximately 20% patients with angina pectoris-adrenoblockers are ineffective. The main causes are: marked coronary atherosclerosis with low ischemia threshold (heart rate less than 100 beats per minute) and an increased end-diastolic volume of the left ventricle, which breaks the subendocardial blood flow.
Smokers have efficacy β-adrenoconcretors below.
Patients who use contact lenses should take into account that, on the background of treatment, tear fluid production can be reduced.
When used in patients with pheochromocytoma, there is a risk of developing paradoxical arterial hypertension (unless an effective α-adrenoblockade has been previously achieved).
With thyrotoxicosis bisoprolol can mask certain clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis (for example, tachycardia). Abrupt withdrawal in patients with thyrotoxicosis is contraindicated, since it can strengthen symptoms.
In diabetes mellitus can mask tachycardia caused by hypoglycemia. In contrast to non-selective β-blockers, there is almost no increase in insulin-induced hypoglycemia and does not delay the restoration of the glucose concentration in the blood to normal levels.
With the simultaneous administration of clonidine, his reception may be discontinued only a few days after the withdrawal of the drug BISOPROLOL-PRANA.
It is possible to increase the severity of the reaction of hypersensitivity and the lack of effect from the usual doses of epinephrine against the background of a burdened allergological anamnesis.
If it is necessary to conduct routine surgical treatment, the drug can be withdrawn 48 hours before the start of the general anesthesia. If the patient has taken the drug before surgery, he should choose a drug for general anesthesia with a minimum negative inotropic effect.
Reciprocal activation of the vagus nerve can be eliminated by intravenous administration of atropine (1-2 mg).
Drugs that reduce catecholamine stocks (including reserpine), can enhance the action of β-blockers, so patients taking such combinations of drugs should be under constant medical supervision to detect a marked decrease in blood pressure or bradycardia.
Patients with bronchospastic diseases can be prescribed cardioselective β-blockers in case of intolerance and / or inefficiency of other antihypertensive agents. Overdosing is dangerous by the development of bronchospasm.
In the case of an increase in bradycardia (less than 50 beats per minute) in elderly patients, a marked decrease in blood pressure (systolic blood pressure below 100 mm Hg) AV blockade, it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop treatment.
It is recommended to stop therapy with the development of depression.
You can not abruptly interrupt treatment because of the danger of developing the syndrome of "withdrawal" (severe arrhythmias and myocardial infarction). Abolition is carried out gradually, reducing the dose for 2 weeks or more (reduce the dose by 25% in 3-4 days).
It should be canceled before the study of the content in the blood and urine of catecholamines, normetanephrine and vanillin-mandelic acid, titers of antinuclear antibodies.
