About Bisomax-5Mg Tablet

Bisomax-5Mg Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris. Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high blood pressure against the walls of the arteries (blood vessels). This increases the heart's workload, and if it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. 

Bisomax-5Mg Tablet contains Bisoprolol fumarate that affects the body's response to some nerve impulses, particularly in the heart. As a result, Bisomax-5Mg Tablet slows down the heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. Thereby, Bisomax-5Mg Tablet helps lower the raised blood pressure and reduces the risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future.

Bisomax-5Mg Tablet should be taken as directed by the physician. The dose and duration will be based on your medical condition and response to the treatment. Bisomax-5Mg Tablet can cause side effects like tiredness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation. Most of these side effects of Bisomax-5Mg Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
