Ancor Plus Tablet 2.5 mg + 6.25 mg is a combination antihypertensive medicine containing Bisoprolol Fumarate and Hydrochlorothiazide. It is used for the treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients who require combination therapy to achieve optimal blood pressure control. By combining a selective beta-blocker with a thiazide diuretic, the tablet provides complementary mechanisms to effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Bisoprolol Fumarate is a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker that decreases the effects of adrenaline on the heart. It slows the heart rate, reduces the force of heart contractions, and lowers the heart's oxygen demand, allowing the heart to pump more efficiently.

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that increases the elimination of excess sodium and water through the kidneys. This reduces blood volume, helping to lower blood pressure and decrease the workload on the heart. Together, these two medicines offer effective and sustained blood pressure control while helping prevent complications such as stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and kidney disease.

Ancor Plus Tablet is typically prescribed as part of a long-term treatment plan that also includes lifestyle modifications such as a low-sodium diet, regular exercise, weight management, and smoking cessation.
