Indications of Bipinor Plus 5 mg+12.5 mg
Essential hypertension
Theropeutic Class
Combined antihypertensive preparations
Pharmacology
The Combination of these ingredients has an additive antihypertensive effect, reducing blood pressure to a greater degree than either component alone. This combination has mild vasodilating properties which reduces heart rate and blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Hydrochlorothiazide affects the renal tubular mechanisms of electrolyte reabsorption which directly increase the excretion of sodium and chloride in approximately equivalent amounts. The diuretic action of Hydrochlorothiazide reduces plasma volume, increases plasma renin activity and increases aldosterone secretion.
Dosage & Administration of Bipinor Plus 5 mg+12.5 mg
Once daily, preferably at the same time every day.

Precautions & Warnings
Nebivolol: Beta-blockers should not be used in patients with untreated Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) & bradycardia. In patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD), beta-blockers should be used with caution as airway constriction may be aggravated.Hydrochlorothiazide: In patients with renal disease, thiazides may increase azotaemia. If progressive renal impairment becomes evident, careful reappraisal of therapy is necessary. Thiazides can cause fluid or electrolyte imbalance. Thiazides may decrease urinary calcium excretion and may cause slight elevation of serum calcium in the absence of known disorders of calcium metabolism
Overdose Effects of Bipinor Plus 5 mg+12.5 mg
No data are available on Overdosage. Overdosage with Hydrochlorothiazide is associated with electrolyte depletion and dehydration resulting from excessive diuresis.
