In bronchial asthma or other chronic obstructive airway diseases, which are the cause of characteristic symptoms, additional bronchodilator therapy is needed.Periodically in patients with concomitant bronchial asthma, respiratory tract resistance may increase with the use of β-blockers, which requires an increase in the dose of β2-adrenomimetics. Before the start of treatment, it is recommended to perform an external respiration function in patients with a history of bronchopulmonary anamnesis.
β-adrenoblockers can increase the number and duration of angina attacks in patients with Prinzmetal angina pectoris. The use of selective β1-adrenoconjugators is possible in patients with mild forms of manifestation and only in combination with vasodilating drugs.
In cases of peripheral circulatory disorders, such as Raynaud's syndrome and "intermittent claudication," there may be an increase in symptoms, especially at the beginning of treatment with Bisoprolol-ratopharm.
Patients using contact lenses should take into account that against the background of drug treatment, a decrease in the production of tear fluid is possible.
When using the drug Bisoprolol-ratopharm in patients with pheochromocytoma, there is a risk of developing paradoxical arterial hypertension (unless an effective blockade of α-adrenergic receptors is previously achieved).
With thyrotoxicosis bisoprolol can mask certain clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis (eg, tachycardia). Abrupt withdrawal of the drug 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-adrenoblockers, it does not substantially increase insulin-induced hypoglycemia and does not delay the restoration of blood glucose to normal levels.
With the simultaneous use of clonidine, his reception can be stopped only a few days after the discontinuation of the drug Bisoprolol-ratiofarm.
In some cases, the use of P-blockers can cause the development or deterioration of the course of psoriasis, or lead to the appearance of psoriatic rashes on the skin.
Bisoprolol-ratiopharm should be administered only after careful weighing of the expected benefit and possible risk.
The control of the condition of patients taking the drug Bisoprolol-ratopharm must include a measurement of heart rate and blood pressure (at the beginning of treatment - every day, then once in 3-4 months), ECG, blood glucose in patients with diabetes mellitus (1 time in 4 -5 months).In elderly patients it is recommended to monitor the kidney function (1 time in 4-5 months). It is necessary to teach the patient how to calculate heart rate and instruct about the need for medical consultation at heart rate less than 50 beats per minute. It is possible to increase the severity of the reaction of hypersensitivity and the lack of effect from the usual doses of epinephrine (adrenaline) against the background of a weighed allergic anamnesis.
If it is necessary to carry out a planned surgical intervention, the drug should be discontinued 48 hours before 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).
Medicines that deplete the catecholamine depot (incl. reserpine), can enhance the action of β-blockers, so patients who take 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 ineffectiveness of other antihypertensive agents. When the dose of Bisoprolol-ratopharm is exceeded, there is a danger of developing bronchospasm. If older bradycardia is detected in elderly patients (heart rate less than 50 beats per minute), a marked decrease in blood pressure (systolic blood pressure less than 100 mm Hg) AV blockade, it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop treatment.
It is recommended to stop therapy with Bisoprolol-ratiofarm when depression develops.
At the beginning of treatment, the drug should be monitored regularly, especially if the course of therapy is performed by elderly patients. Treatment should not be interrupted suddenly, especially in patients with ischemic heart disease. If discontinuation of treatment is necessary, then the dose should be reduced gradually.
Do not abruptly interrupt treatment because of the risk of developing severe arrhythmias and myocardial infarction. Cancellation of the drug is carried out gradually, reducing the dose for 2 weeks or more (by 25% in 3-4 days).
Bisoprolol-ratiopharm gives a positive result in doping control.
Currently, there is insufficient therapeutic experience of the drug in patients with chronic heart failure in the presence of concomitant diseases:
- chronic heart failure II functional class by classification NYHA,
- diabetes 1 type,
- renal impairment (serum creatinine ≥ 300 μmol / L or ≥ 3.4 mg / dL),
- violations of the liver,
- in patients older than 80 years,
- restrictive cardiomyopathy,
- congenital heart diseases,
- organic heart disease with hemodynamic disorders,
- the first 3 months after myocardial infarction.
