Bisoprolol fumarate and hydrochlorothiazide tablets, USP are indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It combines two antihypertensive agents in a once-daily dosage: a synthetic beta1-selective (cardioselective) adrenoceptor blocking agent (bisoprolol fumarate) and a benzothiadiazine diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide). Bisoprolol fumarate is chemically described as 1-[[α-(2-Isopropoxyethoxy)-4-toly]oxy]-3-(isopropylamino)-2-propanol fumarate (2:1) (salt). It possesses an asymmetric carbon atom in its structure and is provided as a racemic mixture. The S(-) enantiomer is responsible for most of the beta-blocking activity. Its empirical formula is (C 18 H 31 NO 4 ) 2 •C 4 H 4 O 4 and it has a molecular weight of 766.97. Its structural formula is: Bisoprolol fumarate, USP is a white crystalline powder, approximately equally hydrophilic and lipophilic, and readily soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, and chloroform. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is 6-Chloro-3,4-dihydro-2 H -1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-7-sulfonamide 1,1-dioxide. It is a white, or practically white, practically odorless crystalline powder. It is slightly soluble in water, sparingly soluble in dilute sodium hydroxide solution, freely soluble in n-butylamine and dimethylformamide, sparingly soluble in methanol, and insoluble in ether, chloroform, and dilute mineral acids. Its empirical formula is C 7 H 8 ClN 3 O 4 S 2 and it has a molecular weight of 297.73. Its structural formula is: Each bisoprolol fumarate and hydrochlorothiazide tablet, for oral administration, contains one of the following combinations of bisoprolol fumarate/hydrochlorothiazide: 2.5 mg/6.25 mg, 5 mg/6.25 mg or 10 mg/6.25 mg. Each tablet also contains the following inactive ingredients: anhydrous lactose, colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polydextrose, polyethylene glycol, pregelatinized starch (corn), sodium lauryl sulfate and titanium dioxide. In addition, the 2.5 mg/6.25 mg tablets contain FD&C Yellow No. 6 Aluminum Lake and the 5 mg/6.25 mg tablets contain FD&C Blue No. 2 Aluminum Lake and FD&C Yellow No. 6 Aluminum Lake.
