| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Bisoprolol''' is a drug belonging to the group of [[beta blocker]]s, a class of drugs used primarily in [[cardiovascular disease]]s. More specifically, it is a selective type β1 [[adrenergic receptor]] blocker <ref>[http://www.fass.se/LIF/produktfakta/artikel_produkt.jsp?NplID=20040326000029&DocTypeID=7&UserTypeID=2 FASS (Swedish official drug catalog) (labeling as "Selektiv beta1-blockerare" = selective beta1-blocker)]</ref>.
| |
| | |
| == Indications ==
| |
| Bisoprolol (Monocor) can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases such as [[hypertension]], [[coronary heart disease]], [[arrhythmia]]s, [[ischemic heart disease]]s and treatment of [[myocardial infarction]] after the acute event. Patients with compensated [[congestive heart failure]] may be treated with Bisoprolol as a comedication (usually together with an [[ACE inhibitor]], a [[diuretic]] and a [[digitalis]]-glycosid, if indicated). In patients with congestive heart failure, it reduces the need for and the consumption of [[oxygen]] of the heart muscle. It is very important to start with low doses, as bisoprolol reduces also the muscular power of the heart, which is an undesired effect in congestive heart failure.
| |
| | |
| The drug is also used to treat other conditions, including [[dysautonomia]], [[anxiety]] and [[hyperthyroidism]] (overfunction of the [[thyroid]] gland).
