Puis-je prendre Bisoprolol et Trimbow ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Bisoprolol is a 'beta-blocker' and formoterol (in Trimbow) is a 'beta-agonist'. They compete for the same receptors in the lungs. Bisoprolol blocks these receptors, which can cause the bronchial tubes to tighten and prevents the inhaler from working properly.

You must speak to your doctor before using these together. Doctors generally avoid prescribing beta-blockers like bisoprolol to patients with breathing conditions unless there is no other option. If you must take both, your doctor will monitor your breathing closely. Seek medical help immediately if you experience sudden wheezing or shortness of breath.

Acute breathing distress

Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker and can cause narrowing of the airways, potentially triggering a severe asthma attack or worsening breathing difficulties. This is particularly important as you are also using Trimbow for a lung condition.

Diabète

Le bisoprolol peut masquer les signes d'alerte d'une hypoglycémie, tels qu'un rythme cardiaque rapide ou des tremblements. Vous devrez surveiller votre glycémie de plus près.

Correct usage technique

Trimbow is a 'preventer' inhaler and must be used every day even if you feel well. You must rinse your mouth with water after every use to prevent developing oral thrush (a fungal infection in the mouth).

Alcool

Alcohol can increase the blood-pressure-lowering effect of bisoprolol, which may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when you first start taking it or when your dose is increased. It is best to limit alcohol intake until you know how the medicine affects you.

Caféine

Trimbow contains formoterol, a medicine that can increase your heart rate. Consuming large amounts of caffeine (found in coffee, tea, energy drinks, and chocolate) may worsen this effect, leading to palpitations, tremors, or a rapid heartbeat.
