Schedule H Handling at the Pharmacy
Dispense Bisomni 5 only against a prescription from a registered medical practitioner, and check that the prescription carries the prescriber's name, registration details, the patient's name, the date, the strength and the quantity.
Maintain the prescription and sales records your state drug control authority requires, and retain them for the prescribed period. Where a repeat is requested well before it is due, or where the quantity looks inconsistent with the prescription, verify with the prescriber before dispensing.
Confirm the strength aloud at the counter. Bisomni 2.5 and Bisomni 5 are visually similar as cartons, and strength errors are among the most common dispensing mistakes with beta-blockers. Where the prescriber has written a different beta-blocker such as a metoprolol succinate extended-release product, do not treat it as interchangeable; refer back to the prescriber.
Storage and Stock Rotation at the Counter
Keep stock below 25 degrees Celsius. In many Indian pharmacies this needs air conditioning or at least good ventilation with shaded shelving, and it needs attention through summer afternoons and monsoon weeks when ambient humidity is sustained.
Practical points for the counter:
- Store cartons away from direct sunlight, from the shop shutter and from any heat-producing equipment
- Do not stack cartons against an outer wall that heats through the afternoon
- Rotate stock on a first-expiry-first-out basis and check expiry dates at every physical count
- Keep strips in their cartons so batch, expiry and storage instructions stay with the product
- Quarantine any carton with water staining, crushed corners, torn foil or a broken seal, and record it
- Monitor and record temperature where your standard operating procedures require it
Patient Counselling Checklist
A short, structured conversation at the counter improves adherence more than a long one.
- Take the tablet once daily at the same time as directed by the doctor; with or without food is generally acceptable
- Swallow the film-coated tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew
- Do not stop the medicine suddenly, even if the readings look normal or the patient feels well
- Expect a slower pulse; this is the intended action
- Report fainting, marked dizziness, new or worsening breathlessness, ankle swelling, rapid weight gain or wheezing promptly
- If a dose is missed, take it the same day unless the next dose is near, and never double up
- Avoid starting NSAID painkillers or chemist-bought decongestants without checking
- Patients with diabetes should be told that warning signs of low sugar may be blunted, while sweating usually persists
- Advise women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding to speak with the prescriber before continuing
- Remind patients to mention the beta-blocker before any surgery, dental work or anaesthesia
- Reinforce storage below 25 degrees Celsius, away from the kitchen and bathroom

Frequently asked questions
- What is the pack configuration of Bisomni 5?
- Bisomni 5 is supplied as 10 x 10 film-coated tablets, each containing Bisoprolol Fumarate IP 5 mg with approved excipients.
- Can a chemist substitute another beta-blocker if Bisomni 5 is out of stock?
- No. Beta-blockers differ in molecule, selectivity and dose equivalence. Refer the patient back to the prescriber rather than substituting at the counter.
- What storage does the pharmacy need to maintain?
- Below 25 degrees Celsius in a cool, dark and dry area, protected from light, heat and moisture, with first-expiry-first-out rotation and routine expiry checks.
- What records must be kept for this product?
- It is a Schedule H product, so dispense against a valid prescription and maintain the prescription and sales records required by your state drug control authority.
- Which counselling point is most often missed?
- That a beta-blocker should not be stopped abruptly. Patients who feel well frequently discontinue on their own, which risks a rebound in pulse and blood pressure.
- How can a distributor enquire about Bisomni 5?
- Through the contact page on emkomnipharma.com, on WhatsApp at +91 94487 74372, or by email at info@emkomnipharma.com, stating establishment type, licence details and territory.
