Bisomax 5 Tablet 10 is primarily used to manage hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure. This medicine is part of a group of medications known as beta-blockers.

Besides its main use to manage high blood pressure, this tablet can also help prevent serious complications like heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems. It achieves this by aiding in the relaxation of blood vessels and reducing the heart rate, which in turn helps to optimise blood pressure levels.

Inform your doctor about any ongoing medications or pre-existing conditions. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking this medicine for the duration your doctor prescribes.

Bisomax 5 Tablet 10 is used for the following:

Management of hypertension
Prevention of severe complications like heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems due to high blood pressure
Protection against organ damage
It can be used alongside other antihypertensive medications to manage high blood pressure better

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, and they resolve when you discontinue using Bisomax 5 Tablet 10. However, if you experience serious side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Diarrhoea: Try taking Bisomax 5 Tablet 10 with food to lessen this effect.
Dizziness: If this medicine causes you to feel dizzy during the day, consider taking it at night.

Bisomax 5 Tablet 10 contains bisoprolol (5mg), which works on the body in the following ways:

Blocks Beta-1 Adrenergic Receptors: Bisoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors, which are mainly found in the heart muscle. This reduces the impact of certain natural chemicals in the body, like epinephrine (adrenaline), which affects the heart and blood vessels.
Reduces Heart Rate and Blood Pressure: By blocking these receptors, bisoprolol causes the heart to beat more slowly and with less force. This decreases the heart rate, reduces blood pressure, and lowers the overall strain on the heart.
Protects Organs: Over time, bisoprolol helps protect various organs from potential damage caused by persistent hypertension by controlling blood pressure levels in the arteries.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Bisomax 5 Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
