Besicor 5 Tablet 15 contains bisoprolol (5mg), which works on the body in the following ways:

• Blocks Beta-1 Adrenergic Receptors: Bisoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors, which are mainly found in the heart muscle. This reduces the impact of certain natural chemicals in the body, like epinephrine (adrenaline), which affects the heart and blood vessels.

• Reduces Heart Rate and Blood Pressure: By blocking these receptors, bisoprolol causes the heart to beat more slowly and with less force. This decreases the heart rate, reduces blood pressure, and lowers the overall strain on the heart.

• Protects Organs: Over time, bisoprolol helps protect various organs from potential damage caused by persistent hypertension by controlling blood pressure levels in the arteries.

• Store Besicor 5 Tablet 15 in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.

• Avoid exposure to excessive light and moisture.

• Keep the medicine securely out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date printed on the packaging before use.

• Regular physical activity such as walking or cycling to manage high blood pressure.

• Reduce your salt intake, as it can escalate your blood pressure levels. Opt for low-sodium alternatives when cooking or eating out.
