How It Works

Bisoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate and the force of heart contractions. This decreases the heart’s workload and oxygen demand while lowering blood pressure. The medication also helps prevent abnormal heart rhythms and protects the heart from stress hormones.

Dosage

Take Concor at the same time each day, preferably in the morning with or without food. Dosage adjustments should be made gradually under medical supervision.

Duration of Action

Concor begins working within 1-2 hours of administration, with peak effects occurring at 2-4 hours. The medication provides 24-hour blood pressure and heart rate control with once-daily dosing. Full therapeutic benefits may take 2-6 weeks to develop with regular use.

Side Effects

Common side effects include fatigue, dizziness, headache, and cold hands or feet. Some patients experience slow heart rate, low blood pressure, or mild gastrointestinal upset. Most side effects are mild and diminish as the body adjusts to treatment.

Warning

Never stop Concor suddenly as this may cause dangerous rebound effects including heart attack or severe hypertension. Gradual dose reduction under medical supervision is essential. Concor may mask symptoms of low blood sugar in diabetics and symptoms of overactive thyroid. Not suitable for patients with certain heart conditions.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Concor should be used during pregnancy only if clearly necessary, as it may affect fetal growth and heart rate. The medication passes into breast milk in small amounts. Pregnant or nursing women should discuss risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before taking Concor.

Interaction

• May increase effects of other blood pressure medications
• Possible dangerous interactions with calcium channel blockers
• May mask low blood sugar symptoms when used with diabetes medications
• Could reduce effectiveness of asthma medications
• Potential increased effects when combined with certain antidepressants
• May interact with anesthetics during surgery

Precaution

Use with extreme caution in patients with asthma, COPD, diabetes, kidney or liver disease, and certain heart rhythm disorders. Regular monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and kidney function is necessary. Inform all healthcare providers about Concor use before any medical procedures or surgeries.

Important Information

Concor is a prescription medication requiring regular medical monitoring. Take exactly as prescribed and never skip doses. Monitor blood pressure and heart rate regularly. Avoid alcohol as it may enhance blood pressure-lowering effects. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep regular appointments with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments.
