Active Ingredient:

• Bisoprolol 5 mg

Therapeutic Class:
Beta‑blocker – Cardioselective

Indications:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Chronic stable angina (chest pain)

• Chronic heart failure (as part of standard therapy for selected patients)

Mechanism of Action:

• Selectively blocks beta‑1 adrenergic receptors in the heart.

  • Heart block greater than first degree

  • Cardiogenic shock or decompensated heart failure

  • Severe hypotension
