Properties

Bisoprolol fumarate belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. Beta-blocker protects the heart from too much activity. This medicine works by affecting the body’s response to some nerve impulses, especially in the heart. As a result, Bisoprolol fumarate slows down the heart rate and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood around the body. Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weak and unable to pump enough blood to supply the body’s needs.

Bisoprolol 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg tablet are used in combination with other medicines to treat stable

heart failure.
