Concor 2.5 mg contains Bisoprolol fumarate, a medication that belongs to a group of drugs known as beta-blockers. It is primarily prescribed to manage high blood pressure and certain heart-related conditions. By reducing the workload on the heart, Concor helps the heart to beat more steadily and efficiently.

Mechanism of Action
Bisoprolol works by blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. These receptors normally respond to stress hormones like adrenaline. When blocked, the heart rate slows down, the force of contraction decreases, and blood pressure lowers. This also reduces oxygen demand by the heart, making it beneficial for patients with angina and heart failure.

Uses
Concor 2.5 mg is used in the treatment of:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Stable angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart)

• Chronic heart failure, usually in combination with other medications

• Sometimes used to manage irregular heartbeats or after a heart attack for long-term heart protection

  Adverse Effects
  While effective, Concor may cause side effects in some individuals, such as:

  • Fatigue, cold hands and feet due to reduced blood flow

  • Dizziness or light-headedness, especially when standing up quickly

  • Slow heart rate or low blood pressure in some cases

  • Sleep disturbances, vivid dreams, or mild depression

  • In people with asthma or lung problems, it may cause breathing difficulty and should be used cautiously
