How It Works

Bisoprolol, the active ingredient in Concor 2.5mg Tablet, functions as a selective beta-1 receptor blocker. It works by slowing down the heart rate and reducing the heart’s workload, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving overall cardiovascular function. This mechanism also helps in regulating irregular heart rhythms and reducing the oxygen demand of the heart muscle, which is beneficial in managing angina.
