Betacor Tablet contains Bisoprolol Fumarate 1.25 mg, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used for managing cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension, angina, and heart failure. This low-dose formulation is ideal for initiating therapy, dose titration, or for patients who require gentle beta-blockade due to sensitivity, advanced age, or comorbidities.
By reducing heart rate and myocardial oxygen demand, Betacor helps control blood pressure, protect the heart from stress, and prevent progression of heart disease while minimizing side effects associated with higher doses.

Key Benefits
-
Effectively lowers high blood pressure
-
Reduces heart rate and cardiac workload
-
Supports management of angina and chronic heart failure
-
Low-dose therapy suitable for initiation or sensitive patients
-
Beta-1 selectivity minimizes respiratory and vascular side effects
Indications
Betacor Tablet 1.25 mg is indicated for:
-
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
-
Chronic stable angina
-
Heart failure (as part of standard therapy)

Patients requiring low-dose beta-1 selective blockade
Mechanism of Action
Bisoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, reducing the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline. This decreases heart rate, cardiac output, and myocardial oxygen demand, effectively controlling blood pressure and reducing cardiac stress. Beta-1 selectivity also helps minimize bronchial constriction and peripheral vascular side effects.
