Used For

Hypertension

How It Works

Bisoprolol fumarate belongs to a group of medicines known as beta-blockers. It helps protect the heart from excessive activity by affecting the body’s response to certain nerve impulses, especially those affecting the heart. This medicine slows down the heart rate and allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently throughout the body.
