Treatment of arterial hypertension and stable angina
Unrecommended combinations
The blockers of the "slow" calcium channels of the verapamil group and, to a lesser extent, the diltiazem: a negative effect on the contractility of the myocardium and AV-conduction. Intravenous administration of verapamil in patients on beta-blocker therapy; can lead to the development of severe arterial hypotension and AV-blockade.
Hypotensive agents of central action, such as clonidine and others (eg, methyldopa, moxonidine, reserpine): lead to progression of heart failure due to a decrease in the central sympathetic tone (decrease in heart rate, cardiac output, vasodilation).Abrupt withdrawal of the drug, especially with the previous discontinuation of beta-adrenoblockers may lead to "ricochet hypertension."
Contraindicated combinations (because of the possibility of a decrease in activity) with floktaphenin, sultopride.
Combinations that should be used with caution
The blockers of "slow" calcium channels dihydropyridine series (for example, nifedipine, felodipine and amlodipine): lead to an increased risk of developing hypotension. Also, the risk of progressive deterioration of the contractile function of the ventricle in patients with heart failure can not be ruled out.
Antiarrhythmic drugs I class (for example, quinidine, disopyramide): AV-conduction is inhibited and negative inotropic effect is enhanced.
Antiarrhythmic drugs III class (for example, amiodarone): increase AV-conduction.
Beta-blockers of topical application (eg, eye drops for the treatment of glaucoma): strengthen the systemic effects of bisoprolol.
Parasympathomimetic means: have a negative effect on AV-conduction and promote bradycardia.
Insulin or hypoglycemic agents for ingestion: reinforcement hypoglycemic effect. Blockade of beta-adrenoreceptors can mask the symptoms of developing hypoglycemia (tachycardia, increased blood pressure).
Means for anesthesia: weaken the reflex tachycardia and enhance antihypertensive effect.
Cardiac glycosides: reduce heart rate, slow down AV-conduction.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: weaken the hypotensive effect of bisoprolol.
Beta-sympathomimetics (for example, isoprenaline, dobutamine): lead to a weakening of the effects of both drugs.
Sympathomimetic agents acting on beta and alpha receptors (eg, epinephrine, norepinephrine): they cry and strengthen the alpha-adrenomimetic vasoconstrictor effect of these drugs, which leads to an increase in blood pressure and exacerbation of intermittent claudication. These interactions are more common when combined with nonselective beta-blockers.
Hypotensive drugs and drugs with hypotensive potential (eg, tricyclic antidepressants, imipramine, MAO inhibitors such as phenelzine barbiturate, phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine): reinforce antihypertensive effect.
Combinations that need to be considered
Mefloquine: increases the risk of bradycardia.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (except MAO inhibitor type B): increase the antihypertensive effect of beta-blockers or the risk of hypertensive crisis.
Derivatives of ergotamine: strengthen the symptoms of peripheral circulatory disorders
Treatment of chronic heart failure
Unrecommended combinations
The blockers of the "slow" calcium channels of the verapamil group and, to a lesser extent, diltiazem: a negative effect on the contractility of the myocardium and AV-conduction. Intravenous administration of verapamil in patients on beta-blocker therapy can lead to severe arterial hypotension and AV blockade.
Antiarrhythmic drugs I class (for example, quinidine, disopyramide, lidocaine, phenytoin, flecainide, propafenone): AV-conduction is inhibited and negative inotropic effect is enhanced.
Hypotensive means of central action, such as clonidine and others (for example, methyldopa, moxonidine, reserpine): lead to progression of heart failure due to a decrease in the central sympathetic tone (decrease in heart rate, cardiac output, vasodilation).

Parasympathomimetic means: have a negative effect on AV-conduction and promote bradycardia.
Insulin or hypoglycemic agents for oral administration: increased hypoglycemic effect. Blockade of beta-adrenoreceptors can mask the symptoms of developing hypoglycemia (tachycardia, increased blood pressure).
Means for anesthesia: weaken the reflex tachycardia and enhance antihypertensive effect.
Cardiac glycosides: reduce heart rate, slow down AV-conduction.

Beta-sympathomimetics (for example, isoprenaline, dobutamine): lead to a weakening of the effects of both drugs.
Sympathomimetic drugs, acting on beta and alpha receptors (for example, adrenaline, noradrenaline): cause and intensify the alpha-adrenomimetic vasoconstrictor effect of these drugs, which leads to an increase in blood pressure and exacerbation of intermittent claudication. These interactions are more common when combined with nonselective beta-blockers.
Hypotensive drugs and drugs with hypotensive potential (eg, tricyclic antidepressants, imipramine, MAO inhibitors, such as phenelzine, barbiturates, phenothiazines, such as chlorpromazine): increase the antihypertensive effect.
Combinations that need to be considered
Mefloquine: increases the risk of bradycardia.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (except MAO type B inhibitor): increase the antihypertensive effect of beta-adrenoblockers or the risk of hypertensive crisis.
