Concor Bisoprolol 10mg Tablets
Product Description
Concor 10mg is a beta-1 selective beta-blocker containing Bisoprolol fumarate, used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic stable angina, and heart failure. By lowering heart rate and reducing cardiac output, Concor helps decrease blood pressure, reduce the heart’s workload, and prevent cardiovascular complications such as heart attacks and strokes.
This higher dose is typically used in patients who require stronger blood pressure control or are being titrated upward from a lower dose under medical supervision.
