Betacor Tablet contains Bisoprolol Fumarate 5 mg, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used to treat cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension, angina, and heart failure. By reducing heart rate, cardiac output, and myocardial oxygen demand, Betacor helps maintain optimal blood pressure, improves heart function, and prevents complications associated with chronic heart disease.
The 5 mg dose is ideal for patients requiring moderate beta-blockade, offering effective blood pressure control while minimizing respiratory and peripheral side effects due to its beta-1 selectivity.

Key Benefits
-
Effectively lowers high blood pressure
-
Reduces heart rate and cardiac workload
-
Supports management of angina and chronic heart failure
-
Beta-1 selectivity reduces risk of bronchial or vascular side effects
-

Indications
Betacor Tablet 5 mg is indicated for:
-
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
-
Chronic stable angina pectoris
-
Heart failure (as part of standard therapy)
-
Patients requiring moderate-dose beta-1 selective blockade
Mechanism of Action
Bisoprolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, reducing the effect of catecholamines like adrenaline and noradrenaline. This decreases heart rate, cardiac output, and myocardial oxygen demand, effectively controlling blood pressure and protecting the heart from stress-related damage.
