Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Pharmacodynamics
Selective beta1-blocker without endogenous sympathomimetic action and membrane stabilizing properties. By inhibiting β1-adrenergic receptors of the heart , the active substance reduces the catecholamine-stimulated formation of cAMP from normal ATP and reduces the intracellular transport of calcium ions. It has a negative chronotropic, dromotropic, bathmotropic and inotropic effect, slows down AV conduction, inhibits conduction and excitability, reduces the heart's need for oxygen. Reduces heart rate at rest and during exercise. Reduces the effects renin .
With increasing doses, bisoprolol demonstrates a beta2-adrenergic blocking effect.
In the first 24 hours of using the drug, peripheral vascular resistance increases slightly, and after 2-3 days it returns to the original level, and with prolonged use it decreases.
The hypotensive effect of the active component is due to a decrease in the minute amount of blood, a decrease in the function of the renin-angiotensin system , sympathetic activation of peripheral vessels, restoration of feedback when blood pressure decreases and an effect on the brain. For arterial hypertension, the effect occurs after 2-6 days, and a stable effect occurs only after about 2 months.
The antiarrhythmic effect is caused by the elimination of factors that provoke arrhythmia, as well as a decrease in the speed of spread of pacemaker excitation and a slowdown in AV conduction.
The antianginal effect is caused by a decrease in myocardial oxygen demand due to a decrease in heart rate and weakened contractility, improved perfusion of heart tissue, and prolongation of diastole. Due to increased diastolic pressure and stretching of the muscles of both ventricles, the need for oxygen may increase.
When used in therapeutic dosages, in contrast to non-selective beta-blockers, Cordinorm has a less strong effect on target organs (skeletal muscles, uterus, smooth muscles of arteries, pancreas, bronchi) and on carbohydrate metabolism, and does not cause sodium accumulation in the body. The strength of the atherogenic action is the same as that of Propranolol .
When used in large doses, it exhibits a blocking effect on both types of β-adrenergic receptors.
Pharmacokinetics
After taking the drug orally, up to 90% of bisoprolol . Food does not affect absorption. The highest plasma levels occur after 2-3 hours.
Interaction with blood proteins reaches approximately 35%. Permeability through histohematic barriers and the degree of excretion during lactation are low.
Half of the dose taken is transformed in the liver with the production of inactive derivatives.
The half-life is 11-12 hours. Up to 98% of the substance is excreted by the kidneys, another approximately 2% - with bile.
Pharmacodynamics
Selective beta1-blocker without its own sympathomimetic activity. By blocking beta1-adrenergic receptors of the heart in low doses, it reduces the catecholamine-stimulated formation of cAMP from ATP, reduces the intracellular Ca2+ current, has a negative chrono-, dromo-, bathmo- and inotropic effect (reduces heart rate, inhibits conductivity and excitability, reduces myocardial contractility). With increasing dose, it has a beta2-adrenergic blocking effect. OPSS at the beginning of the use of beta-adrenergic blockers, in the first 24 hours, increases (as a result of a reciprocal increase in the activity of alpha-adrenergic receptors and the elimination of stimulation of beta2-adrenergic receptors), which after 1-3 days returns to the original level, and with long-term administration decreases.
The hypotensive effect is associated with a decrease in IOC, sympathetic stimulation of peripheral vessels, a decrease in the activity of the renin-angiotensin system (of greater importance for patients with initial hypersecretion of renin), restoration of the sensitivity of the baroreceptors of the aortic arch (there is no increase in their activity in response to a decrease in blood pressure) and an effect on CNS. In case of arterial hypertension, the effect occurs after 2–5 days, stable effect occurs after 1–2 months. The antianginal effect is due to a decrease in myocardial oxygen demand as a result of a decrease in heart rate and decreased contractility, prolongation of diastole, and improved myocardial perfusion. By increasing the final dBP in the left ventricle and increasing the stretching of the ventricular muscle fibers, it can increase the need for oxygen, especially in patients with chronic heart failure. The antiarrhythmic effect is due to the elimination of arrhythmogenic factors (tachycardia, increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, increased cAMP content, arterial hypertension), a decrease in the rate of spontaneous excitation of sinus and ectopic pacemakers and a slowdown of AV conduction (mainly in the anterograde and to a lesser extent in the retrograde directions through the AV node) and along additional paths. In contrast to non-selective beta-blockers, when prescribed in average therapeutic doses, it has a less pronounced effect on organs containing beta2-adrenergic receptors (pancreas, skeletal muscles, smooth muscles of peripheral arteries, bronchi and uterus) and on carbohydrate metabolism, does not cause Na + retention in organism; the severity of the atherogenic effect does not differ from the effect of propranolol. When used in large doses, it has a blocking effect on both subtypes of beta-adrenergic receptors.

Instructions for use of Cordinorm (Method and dosage)
Instructions for use of Cordinorm prescribe taking the medicine in the morning, on an empty stomach, orally, without chewing. A single dose is 2.5-5 mg. Typically the initial dose is 5 mg per day. If necessary, the dose is increased to 10 mg per day. The maximum daily dose is 20 mg.
Treatment of patients with compensated liver or kidney dysfunction usually does not require dose changes. In persons with severe renal dysfunction ( creatinine no more than 20 ml/min) or liver, the maximum daily dose is 10 mg.
In elderly people, there is no need to change the dose.
Interaction
In persons receiving bisoprolol , immunotherapeutic and diagnostic allergens, the risk of systemic severe allergic reactions .
Iodine-containing intravenous radiocontrast agents increase the risk of anaphylactic reactions.
When used simultaneously, bisoprolol can change the effectiveness of insulin and hypoglycemic agents , as well as mask the symptoms of emerging hypoglycemia.
Phenytoin, when administered intravenously and inhalational anesthetics, increases the strength of the cardiodepressive effect and the likelihood of lowering blood pressure.
When used together, bisoprolol reduces the clearance of xanthines and lidocaine , and also increases their content in the blood.
The hypotensive effect of the drug when used together is weakened by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticosteroids and estrogens.
Cardiac glycosides, Reserpine, Methyldopa, Guanfacine, slow calcium channel inhibitors, Amiodarone and other antiarrhythmic drugs, when used simultaneously with bisoprolol , increase the risk of developing AV block, bradycardia and even cardiac arrest.
When used together, Nifedipine can significantly reduce blood pressure.
Diuretics, Clonidine, sympatholytics, Hydralazine and other antihypertensive drugs when used together can cause an excessive decrease in blood pressure.
Cordinorm increases the duration of action of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants and coumarins.
and tetracyclic antidepressants and hypnotics enhance the suppressive effect of bisoprolol on nervous function.
Concomitant use with MAO blockers (as well as the use of Cordinorm within a two-week period after taking them) is not recommended due to the increased hypotensive effect.
Ergotamine, when used simultaneously, increases the risk of developing peripheral circulatory disorders.
Non-hydrogenated ergot alkaloids, when used together, increase the risk of peripheral circulatory disorders.
Rifampicin, when used together, shortens the half-life of the active component.
Sulfasalazine increases the level of bisoprolol in the blood.
Cordinorm
Monitoring of patients taking bisoprolol should include monitoring heart rate and blood pressure (at the beginning of treatment - daily, then once every 3-4 months), ECG, blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes (once every 4-5 months). In elderly patients, it is recommended to monitor renal function (once every 4-5 months). After starting treatment for CHF at a dose of 1.25 mg, the patient should be examined within 4 hours (heart rate, blood pressure, ECG).
The patient should be taught how to calculate heart rate and instructed about the need for medical consultation if the heart rate is less than 50/min.
Before starting treatment with the drug, it is recommended to conduct a study of external respiratory function in patients with a burdened bronchopulmonary history.
In approximately 20% of patients with angina, beta blockers are ineffective. The main causes are severe coronary atherosclerosis with a low ischemic threshold (heart rate less than 100/min) and increased LV EDV, which impairs subendocardial blood flow. In smokers, the effectiveness of beta-blockers is lower.
Patients using contact lenses should take into account that during treatment the production of tear fluid may decrease.
When used in patients with pheochromocytoma, there is a risk of developing paradoxical arterial hypertension (if effective alpha-blockade is not previously achieved).
In thyrotoxicosis, bisoprolol may mask certain clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis (for example, tachycardia). Abrupt withdrawal in patients with thyrotoxicosis is contraindicated because it can increase symptoms.
In diabetes mellitus, it can mask tachycardia caused by hypoglycemia. Unlike non-selective beta-blockers, it practically does not enhance insulin-induced hypoglycemia and does not delay the restoration of blood glucose to normal levels.
When taking clonidine concomitantly, it can be discontinued only a few days after bisoprolol is discontinued.
It is possible that the severity of the hypersensitivity reaction may increase and the absence of effect from usual doses of epinephrine against the background of a burdened allergic history.
If planned surgical treatment is necessary, the drug should be discontinued 48 hours before the start of general anesthesia. If the patient took the drug before surgery, he should select a drug for general anesthesia with minimal negative inotropic effect.
Reciprocal activation of the n.vagus can be eliminated by intravenous administration of atropine (1-2 mg).
Drugs that reduce catecholamine reserves (for example, reserpine) can enhance the effect of beta-blockers, so patients taking such combinations of drugs should be under constant medical supervision to detect arterial hypotension or bradycardia.
Patients with bronchospastic diseases can be prescribed cardioselective adrenergic blockers in case of intolerance and/or ineffectiveness of other antihypertensive drugs, but the dosage should be strictly monitored. An overdose of the drug is dangerous by the development of bronchospasm.
If elderly patients develop increasing bradycardia (less than 50/min), arterial hypotension (systolic blood pressure below 100 mm Hg), AV block, bronchospasm, ventricular arrhythmias, severe liver and kidney dysfunction, it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop treatment . It is recommended to discontinue therapy if depression caused by taking beta-blockers develops.
Treatment should not be abruptly interrupted due to the risk of developing severe arrhythmias and myocardial infarction. Cancellation is carried out gradually, reducing the dose over 2 weeks or more (reduce the dose by 25% in 3-4 days).
The use of the drug during pregnancy and lactation is possible if the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk of side effects in the fetus and child.
Should be discontinued before testing the content of catecholamines, normetanephrine and vanillylmandelic acid in the blood and urine; antinuclear antibody titers.
During treatment with the drug, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.
