Concor 5mg Tablet 10's

Concor 5mg Tablet contains Bisoprolol Fumarate 5 mg, a beta-blocker primarily used to treat high blood pressure, angina pectoris, and stable chronic heart failure.

Benefits

This medicine effectively lowers high blood pressure, which reduces strain on the heart and blood vessels. It works by slowing the heart rate and decreasing the force of contraction, thereby reducing the heart's oxygen demand. Concor 5mg Tablet helps manage chest pain associated with angina and can improve exercise tolerance. It also supports improved heart function in patients with stable chronic heart failure.

Uses and Indications

• High blood pressure (hypertension).
• Angina pectoris (heart-related chest pain).
• Stable chronic heart failure with reduced systolic left ventricular function.
