Product composition:
• Bisoprolol Fumarate(2.5mg)

Pregnancy interaction:
• Bisofig 2.5mg tablets, containing bisoprolol, are a beta-blocker medication. Their use during pregnancy is complex and requires careful consideration due to potential risks to both the mother and the developing fetus. It's crucial to understand that this medication should only be used during pregnancy under strict medical supervision.
  
  Safety: Bisoprolol is classified as a pregnancy category C medication. This means that studies in animals have shown adverse effects, and there is no adequate data in humans to confirm safety. The potential risks to the fetus include low birth weight, slow fetal heart rate, and other potential developmental issues. The benefits to the mother must significantly outweigh these risks.
  
  Purpose: Bisoprolol is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain heart conditions. In some cases, where the mother's condition poses a greater risk than the potential risks of Bisofig, a doctor might prescribe it during pregnancy. However, this is a rare circumstance and other medications are often preferred.
  
  Medical Supervision: The use of Bisofig during pregnancy is absolutely crucial to be under the close monitoring of a healthcare professional. Regular check-ups, fetal monitoring, and careful assessment of the mother's condition are necessary to minimize potential risks and ensure the best possible outcome for both mother and baby. The doctor will weigh the benefits of controlling the mother's condition against the potential risks to the fetus and adjust the treatment plan accordingly. Self-medicating with Bisofig during pregnancy is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted.

How it works:
• Bisofig 2.5mg tablets help your body manage cholesterol levels.
  
  Bisoprolol (the active ingredient): This is a type of medicine called a beta-blocker. It works by slowing down your heart rate and making your heart beat less forcefully. This helps to lower your blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure can indirectly help lower cholesterol levels in some cases, particularly in people with high blood pressure. It also helps to reduce the workload on your heart.
  
  There are no other active ingredients listed in the name "Bisofig 2.5mg Tablet 10s". The "2.5mg" refers to the amount of Bisoprolol in each tablet. The "10s" means there are 10 tablets in a pack. Any other ingredients listed on the packaging are inactive ingredients (excipients) that help to make the tablet but don't have a medicinal effect.
  
  
  It's important to remember that Bisofig 2.5mg tablets primarily work on blood pressure and heart rate. While this can indirectly affect cholesterol, it's not its main purpose. Your doctor will likely prescribe other medications if you need direct cholesterol management.

  Bisofig, containing bisacodyl, a stimulant laxative, may interact with:
  
  Other laxatives: Taking Bisofig with other laxatives (e.g., stool softeners, osmotic laxatives) can lead to excessive bowel movements and dehydration. The combined effect can be stronger than intended.
