Betacor HZ Tablet combines Bisoprolol Fumarate 5 mg, a selective beta-1 blocker, with Hydrochlorothiazide 6.25 mg, a thiazide diuretic, to provide effective management of hypertension. This dual-action formulation works synergistically: Bisoprolol reduces heart rate and cardiac workload, while Hydrochlorothiazide promotes the excretion of excess sodium and water, lowering blood volume and blood pressure.
By addressing hypertension through complementary mechanisms, Betacor HZ improves cardiovascular outcomes, reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack, and simplifies treatment by combining two agents in a single tablet.

Indications
Betacor HZ Tablet is indicated for:
-
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
-
Patients requiring combination therapy for optimal blood pressure control
-
Patients at risk of cardiovascular complications due to uncontrolled hypertension
Mechanism of Action
-
Bisoprolol Fumarate (5 mg): Selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate, cardiac output, and myocardial oxygen demand.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide (6.25 mg): Inhibits sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys, increasing sodium and water excretion, reducing blood volume, and lowering blood pressure.
-
The combination provides complementary blood pressure-lowering effects, targeting both cardiac output and vascular volume.

Usually administered once daily or as prescribed by a physician
-
Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food
-
Do not discontinue therapy abruptly; sudden cessation may worsen hypertension or angina
-
Dose adjustments should be guided by a healthcare professional based on blood pressure and heart rate response
