Product Introduction
Concor Plus Tablet is an anti-hypertensive medication containing the active ingredient bisoprolol. It is prescribed to treat hypertension, angina pectoris, and chronic heart failure. Hypertension is a medical condition in which blood generates excessive force on the artery walls. Angina pectoris refers to chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart and may indicate coronary artery disease. Chronic heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump adequate oxygen-rich blood to meet the body's requirements.
Common side effects of Concor Plus Tablet include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, headache, bradycardia, asthenia, fatigue, hypotension, coldness or numbness in the extremities, and worsening of pre-existing heart failure. Inform your healthcare provider if these side effects disturb or persist.
This medication is not recommended for children. Before treatment, inform your physician if you have any allergy to Concor Plus Tablet or its ingredients. It is not recommended for patients with severe asthma or chronic lung disease, slow or irregular heart rate, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, metabolic acidosis, or untreated pheochromocytoma. Avoid taking Concor Plus Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Uses
Treats hypertension (high blood pressure), angina pectoris (chest pain), chronic heart failure.
How it works
Concor Plus Tablet is a beta1-selective adrenoceptor-blocking agent that affects the body's response to certain nerve impulses, especially in the heart. It works by decreasing the heart rate and making it easier for the heart to flow blood throughout the body. As a result, it reduces blood pressure and the risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems.
How to Use
Concor Plus Tablet should be taken in the morning with food. Swallow the tablets as a whole with water.

Expert Tips
It is advised to monitor your blood pressure regularly to prevent hypotension (low blood pressure).
