Ancor Plus Tablet 5 mg + 6.25 mg is a combination antihypertensive medicine containing Bisoprolol Fumarate and Hydrochlorothiazide. It is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single medication. By combining a beta-blocker with a thiazide diuretic, Ancor Plus provides effective blood pressure reduction and helps lower the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney damage.

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

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that helps the kidneys eliminate excess sodium and water through urine. This reduces blood volume, lowers blood pressure, and decreases the workload on the heart. The combination of these two medicines provides complementary mechanisms of action, resulting in more effective blood pressure control than either medicine alone.

Ancor Plus Tablet is intended for long-term management of hypertension and should be used together with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular physical activity, weight management, smoking cessation, and reduced salt intake for optimal cardiovascular health.

Indications

Ancor Plus Tablet is indicated for:

How It Works

Bisoprolol blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of contraction, which lowers blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide increases the excretion of sodium and water by the kidneys, reducing blood volume and further decreasing blood pressure. Together, they provide effective and sustained blood pressure control.
