Medicine details
- CATEGORY OFCONCOR 5 MG TABLETS:
- • Antihypertensive drugs
- MECHANISM OF ACTION OF BISOPROLOL:
- • Blocks beta-adrenergic stimulation; cardioselective for beta-1 at low doses with little or no effect on beta-2 receptors at doses ≤ 20 mg.
- • Beta-blocker protects the heart from too much activity. This medicine works by affecting the body’s response to some nerve impulses, especially in the heart.
- • As a result, Bisoprolol fumarate slows down the heart rate and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood around the body.
- • Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weak and unable to pump enough blood to supply the body’s needs.
- NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTS & ADVICE FOR HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS:
- • To measure blood pressure correctly:
- • Don’t eat or drink anything 30 minutes before you take your blood pressure.
- • Empty your bladder before your reading.
- • Sit in a comfortable chair with your back supported for at least 5 minutes before your reading.
- • Put both feet flat on the ground and keep your legs uncrossed.
- • Rest your arm with the cuff on a table at chest height.
- • Make sure the blood pressure cuff is snug but not too tight. The cuff should be against your bare skin, not over clothing.
- • Do not talk while your blood pressure is being measured.
- • You will also find the following Non-Pharmacological treatment effective:
- • Lose extra pounds and watch your waistline
- • Exercise regularly
- • Eat a healthy diet
- • Reduce sodium in your diet
- • Quit smoking
- • Cut back on caffeine
- • Reduce your stress
- • Monitor your blood pressure at home and see your doctor regularly
- NORMAL RANGE:
- • Normal: Blood pressure numbers of less than 120/80 mm Hg
- • Elevated: is when readings consistently range from 120-129 systolic and less than 80 mm Hg diastolic.
- • Hypertension Stage 1: is when blood pressure consistently ranges from 130-139 systolic or 80-89 mm Hg diastolic.
- • Hypertension Stage 2: is when blood pressure consistently ranges at 140/90 mm Hg or higher.
- • Hypertensive crisis: This stage of high blood pressure requires medical attention. If your blood pressure readings suddenly exceed 180/120 mm Hg, wait five minutes and then test your blood pressure again. If your readings are still unusually high, contact your doctor immediately. You could be experiencing a hypertensive crisis.
