xWhat Is Actim Tablets?
Actim Tablets 2.5mg from Sami Pharm contain Bisoprolol Fumarate, a cardioselective beta-blocker prescribed for high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina. This medicine requires a prescription.
How It Works
Bisoprolol fumarate blocks the effect of certain nerve impulses on the heart, protecting it from overactivity. By slowing the heart rate, it allows the heart to work more efficiently and pump blood around the body with less strain, which in turn lowers blood pressure and reduces the frequency of angina episodes.
Dosage
For hypertension and angina, the usual adult dose is 10mg once daily, up to a maximum of 20mg daily, always as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Bisoprolol is not recommended for children.
Side Effects
Possible side effects include tiredness, dizziness, headache, cold or numb hands and feet, low blood pressure, gastrointestinal upset, sleep disturbances, and muscle cramps. Patients with asthma or chronic lung disease may experience breathing difficulties and should discuss this with their doctor before starting treatment.
Precautions
Do not take Bisoprolol if you are allergic to it, have severe asthma or chronic lung disease, or have a severe circulation disorder such as Raynaud's syndrome. It may mask the signs of low blood sugar, so diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar closely. Never stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting a doctor, as this can worsen heart symptoms.
