Product Introduction
Concor 5 Tablet is a beta-blocker medication used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (heart-related chest pain), and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia). It also plays a role in preventing future heart attacks. Additionally, Concor 5 Tablet can be prescribed to manage symptoms caused by an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).
This medication works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of the heart’s contractions, making the heart work more efficiently.

Benefits of Concor 5 Tablet
In Hypertension Treatment:
Concor 5 Tablet works by blocking the effects of certain chemicals (such as adrenaline) on the heart and blood vessels. This reduces the heart rate and the force of contraction, which ultimately lowers blood pressure. By doing so, it helps prevent complications like strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Regular use of Concor 5 Tablet, as prescribed, is essential for managing blood pressure and ensuring long-term health benefits.
How Concor 5 Tablet Works
Concor 5 Tablet contains Bisoprolol (5mg), a beta-blocker that specifically targets the heart. It works by blocking the effects of stress hormones like adrenaline, which cause the heart to beat faster and with greater force. By slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of each heartbeat, Bisoprolol makes the heart work more efficiently, lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart-related complications.
