Fatigue: Consider taking this medicine in the evening so the tiredness occurs during your normal sleeping hours.
Besicor T 5 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients that work together to lower blood pressure:
Bisoprolol (5 mg): This component is a beta-blocker that works by blocking beta-1 receptors in your heart. These receptors normally respond to hormones called catecholamines, which make your heart beat faster and harder. By blocking this action, bisoprolol slows down your heart rate and reduces the force of contractions, lowering your blood pressure.
Telmisartan (40 mg): This component is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes your blood vessels to narrow. By preventing this effect, telmisartan allows your blood vessels to relax and widen, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
Besicor T 5 Tablet 10 is contraindicated during pregnancy, especially beyond the first trimester. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.
