What is Concor 3.75mg?
Concor 3.75mg is a branded cardiovascular medication containing Bisoprolol Fumarate, a selective beta-1 adrenoceptor antagonist (beta-blocker). This specific 3.75mg dosage is often utilized during the titration phase of treatment for stable chronic heart failure to help the heart pump more efficiently by reducing heart rate and cardiac workload.
Key Benefits and Uses
Concor 3.75mg is primarily prescribed for the following conditions:
- Stable Chronic Heart Failure: Used in combination with other medications like ACE inhibitors and diuretics.
- Hypertension: Helps in managing high blood pressure.

In Nigeria, you may also see this product labeled as Concor COR or Emconcor CHF, which are specifically marketed for heart failure indications. The 100-tablet bulk pack is ideal for long-term management of chronic conditions, offering better value for consistent use.
Dosage and Administration
Concor tablets should be taken once daily, preferably in the morning. They can be taken with or without food but should be swallowed whole with some liquid. It is crucial to follow the titration schedule prescribed by your doctor, as the dosage is typically increased gradually.
