Product Description

🔹 Product Overview
Concor 5 mg Tablet is a prescription cardiovascular medicine containing Bisoprolol 5 mg. It belongs to the beta-blocker class of medicines and is primarily used to manage high blood pressure and certain heart-related conditions.
Bisoprolol works mainly by slowing the heart rate and reducing the workload on the heart. Depending on the patient's condition, it may be prescribed for hypertension, angina (chest pain), and stable chronic heart failure.

🔹 Key Uses
Concor 5 mg may be prescribed for:
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Angina pectoris (heart-related chest pain)
Stable chronic heart failure with reduced systolic function, as part of an appropriate treatment regimen
Other cardiovascular conditions when specifically prescribed by a doctor

🔹 Composition
Active ingredient: Bisoprolol fumarate 5 mg
Dosage form: Film-coated tablet
Route of administration: Oral
Therapeutic class: Beta-blocker
ATC classification: C07AB07

🔹 How It Works
Concor 5 mg contains bisoprolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker.
It reduces the effects of adrenaline and related hormones on the heart. This slows the heart rate, decreases the force of cardiac contraction, and reduces the workload and oxygen demand of the heart. These effects help lower blood pressure and can reduce the frequency of angina symptoms in appropriate patients.

Reduces the workload on the heart
Helps control heart rate
Helps reduce symptoms of angina in appropriate patients
Can form part of long-term treatment for stable chronic heart failure when prescribed appropriately
Once-daily administration is commonly used, according to the prescribed regimen

🔹 Dosage and Administration
Take Concor 5 mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
It may generally be taken with or without food.
Take it at approximately the same time each day.
Swallow the tablet with water.
Do not increase, decrease, or change the dosing schedule without medical advice.
Do not stop bisoprolol suddenly, as abrupt discontinuation can worsen certain heart conditions or cause other cardiovascular problems.
The appropriate dose depends on the condition being treated and the patient's response to therapy.
Important: A 5 mg tablet does not mean that 5 mg is the correct dose for every patient. Your doctor determines the appropriate dose based on your medical condition and response.

🔹 Possible Side Effects
Possible side effects of bisoprolol may include:
Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
Dizziness
Tiredness or fatigue
Headache
Low blood pressure
Nausea

🔹 Precautions
Concor 5 mg should be used under medical supervision.
Tell your doctor if you have asthma or other breathing disorders.

Patients with peripheral circulation problems should inform their healthcare professional.
Use caution in patients with certain thyroid disorders because beta-blockers can mask some symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Do not discontinue treatment abruptly.
