Ancor Tablet 5 mg contains Bisoprolol Fumarate, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker (beta-blocker) used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic stable heart failure, and angina pectoris. It helps reduce the workload on the heart, lowers blood pressure, and improves heart function, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attack and stroke.

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

Ancor Tablet 5 mg is commonly prescribed as part of a long-term treatment plan for cardiovascular diseases. It may be used alone or in combination with other medications to achieve optimal blood pressure control and improve overall heart health. Regular use along with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and smoking cessation, can significantly reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events.
