Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Tian Hongbo
Bisoprolol Fumarate Tablets are a selective β1 receptor blocker, and their main functions and indications include the following:
1. Treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease (e.g., angina pectoris) and chronic stable heart failure. By blocking β1 receptors on the heart, it reduces cardiac contractility and heart rate, thereby decreasing the heart's oxygen consumption, achieving blood pressure reduction and improvement of cardiac function.
2. Control of arrhythmias: Bisoprolol Fumarate Tablets can slow heart rate, reduce the generation of cardiac impulses, and prolong the conduction time between the heart's atria and ventricles, thus effectively controlling arrhythmias.
3. Treatment of hypertension: As a long-acting antihypertensive drug, Bisoprolol Fumarate Tablets can effectively lower blood pressure.
4. For patients with a history of myocardial infarction, Bisoprolol Fumarate Tablets can also prevent cardiac events and improve survival rates.
It should be used according to medical instructions, with attention to monitoring changes in blood pressure and heart rate, avoiding abrupt discontinuation of the medication, and being aware of possible side effects and adverse reactions.
