Indications
Bizoran is indicated for the treatment of hypertension either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. It is particularly suitable as initial therapy in patients requiring multiple medications to achieve their blood pressure goals. Treatment decisions should consider individual factors such as baseline blood pressure and target goals.
Pharmacology
Bizoran combines Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that reduces peripheral vascular resistance, with Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker that inhibits the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II.
Dosage & Administration
Start with Bizoran 5/20 mg once daily, titrating up to a maximum of 10/40 mg once daily as needed. Adjustments may be necessary for elderly patients and those with hepatic impairment.
Interaction
Monitor blood pressure, renal function, and electrolytes closely when combining Bizoran with NSAIDs or selective COX-2 inhibitors.
