USES: Bisoprolol is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body such as epinephrine on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

Indications : hypertension, angina, prevention of post cardio-thoracic surgery atrial fibrillation, ventricular rate control in atrial fibrillation, chronic heart failure, myocardial reinfarction prevention, ventricular tachycardia
