WHAT BISOPROLOL KRKA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance in Bisoprolol Krka is bisoprolol. Bisoprolol
belongs to a group of medicines
called beta-blockers. These medicines work by affecting the body`s
response to some nerve impulses,
especially in the heart. As a result, bisoprolol slows down the heart
rate and makes the heart more
efficient at pumping blood around the body. At the same time
bisoprolol reduces the oxygen demand
and blood supply of the heart. Heart failure occurs when the heart
muscle is weak and unable to pump
enough blood to supply the body’s needs.
Bisoprolol Krka is used to
-
treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
-
treat angina pectoris.
-
treat stable chronic heart failure. It is used in combination with
other medicines suitable for this
condition (such as ACE-inhibitors, diuretics, and heart glycosides).

4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_HYPERTENSION AND ANGINA PECTORIS_
_Adults_
The dosage should be individually adjusted. The usual dose is 10 mg
once daily with a maximum recommended dose of 20 mg
per day. In some patients 5 mg per day may be adequate.
_Renal or hepatic impairment_
In patients with mild to moderate impairment of renal or hepatic
function no dosage adjustment is normally required.
In patients with final stage impairment of renal function (creatinine
clearance < 20 ml/min) or liver function, the dose should
not exceed 10 mg bisoprolol once daily. A lower dose should be used.
Experiences with the use of bisoprolol in patients
undergoing dialysis are limited; but there is no evidence supporting a
change in dosage.
_Elderly _
No dosage adjustment is normally required, but 5 mg per day may be
adequate in some patients; as for other adults, dosage
may have to be reduced in cases of severe renal or hepatic
dysfunction.
_Paediatric population_
There is no paediatric experience with bisoprolol, therefore its use
cannot be recommended in paediatric patients.
