Ancor Tablet 10 mg contains Bisoprolol Fumarate, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker (beta-blocker) used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic stable heart failure, and angina pectoris. It helps lower blood pressure, reduce the workload on the heart, and improve overall cardiovascular function, thereby reducing the risk of serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, and worsening heart failure.

Bisoprolol works by selectively blocking beta-1 receptors located primarily in the heart. This action slows the heart rate, decreases the force of heart contractions, and reduces the amount of oxygen the heart requires to function. As a result, the heart pumps more efficiently, blood pressure decreases, and symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath are improved.

Ancor Tablet is commonly prescribed as a long-term treatment for cardiovascular diseases and may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive or heart failure medications. Regular use, along with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, and weight management, contributes to better cardiovascular health.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Bisoprolol Fumarate 10 mg

Indications

Ancor Tablet is indicated for:

How It Works

Bisoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, reducing the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline. This slows the heart rate, decreases cardiac output, and lowers blood pressure while reducing the heart's oxygen demand, making it easier for the heart to function efficiently.

Dosage & Administration

• Use strictly as prescribed by a registered physician.
• Usually taken once daily, preferably in the morning.
• Can be taken with or without food.
