Betapro Tablet 2.5 mg contains Bisoprolol Fumarate, a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used in the management of various cardiovascular conditions. This low-dose formulation is particularly suitable for patients who require gradual initiation of beta-blocker therapy or dose adjustment due to sensitivity, advanced age, or comorbid conditions. Betapro Tablet 2.5 mg helps reduce cardiac workload and improve heart efficiency, contributing to better blood pressure and heart rate control.

Composition

• Bisoprolol Fumarate 2.5 mg

Therapeutic Class

Selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker (Beta-blocker)

Indications

Betapro Tablet 2.5 mg is indicated for:

• Hypertension

• Chronic stable angina pectoris

• Chronic heart failure (as part of combination therapy)

• Management of tachycardia and other cardiac rhythm disturbances

Pharmacology

Bisoprolol is a highly selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist. It primarily acts on the heart by reducing heart rate, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output, which leads to a decrease in blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand. Due to its beta-1 selectivity, Bisoprolol has minimal effect on beta-2 receptors in the bronchial and vascular smooth muscles when used at therapeutic doses.

This selectivity makes Betapro Tablet 2.5 mg suitable for patients with coexisting respiratory conditions when used cautiously. The drug also suppresses renin release from the kidneys, contributing further to its antihypertensive effect.

Dosage and Administration

Betapro Tablet 2.5 mg is administered orally.

• The dose should be taken once daily, preferably in the morning

• The tablet may be taken with or without food

• Dose adjustments should be made gradually based on patient response and tolerability

Patients should not discontinue therapy abruptly, as sudden withdrawal may worsen cardiac conditions.

Contraindications

Betapro Tablet 2.5 mg is contraindicated in patients with:

• Severe bradycardia

• Cardiogenic shock

• Severe hypotension

• Second- or third-degree atrioventricular block

• Uncontrolled heart failure

• Known hypersensitivity to Bisoprolol

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Fatigue

• Dizziness

• Bradycardia

• Cold extremities

• Gastrointestinal discomfort

Most side effects are mild and often diminish with continued therapy.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use with caution in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

• Monitor heart rate and blood pressure regularly

• Caution is advised in patients with diabetes, as beta-blockers may mask symptoms of hypoglycemia

• Gradual dose reduction is recommended when discontinuing therapy

Pregnancy and Lactation

Betapro Tablet 2.5 mg should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Bisoprolol may be excreted in breast milk; therefore, caution is advised during breastfeeding.

Storage Conditions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Mode of Action

Bisoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, resulting in reduced heart rate, decreased myocardial contractility, and lower blood pressure, thereby improving cardiac efficiency and reducing cardiovascular risk.
