Dosage of Adorbis 2.5 mg
| Condition | Dosage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adult | In the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension, Bisoprolol fumarate must be individualized to the needs of the patient | The usual starting dose is 5 mg once daily either added to a diuretic or alone. If the response to 5 mg is inadequate, the dose may be increased to 10 mg and then, if necessary, to 20 mg once daily. An appropriate interval for dose titration is 2 weeks. Increasing the dose beyond 20 mg once daily produces only a small incremental benefit |
| Children | Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established | |
| Patients With Renal or Hepatic Impairment | In patients with hepatic impairment (hepatitis or cirrhosis) or renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance less than 40 mL/min) as in other patients, the initial daily dose should be 5 mg | Because of the possibility of accumulation, caution must be used in dose titration. Since limited data suggest that bisoprolol fumarate is not dialysable, drug replacement is not necessary in patients undergoing dialysis |
| Geriatrics | In the elderly, it is not usually necessary to adjust the dose, unless there is also significant renal or hepatic dysfunction |

Mode Of Action
Adorbis 2.5 mg is the most selective ß1 blocker.
It displays highest level of affinity for the ß1 receptor than any other beta-blocker available up to now.
Selectively blocks ß1 adrenergic receptor in the heart and vascular smooth muscle and reduces heart rate and cardiac output resulting in decrease of arterial hypertension.
Lipid metabolism can be adversely affected by ß-blockers, in patients with non-ß1 selective ß1-blocker, but Bisoprolol does not cause any change in the cholesterol fraction including the cardioprotective HDL-cholesterol, in long-term therapy.
