About Concor Plus Tablet

Concor Plus Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. As a result, it leads to heart disease, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

Concor Plus Tablet contains Bisoprolol and Hydrochlorothiazide. Bisoprolol (beta-blocker) helps in relaxing the blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. Together, it helps treat hypertension.

Take Concor Plus Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Concor Plus Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience nausea, fatigue (tiredness), constipation, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, cough and slow heart rate. Most of these side effects of Concor Plus Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Before starting Concor Plus Tablet , please inform your doctor if you have an allergy, heart disease, inability to pass urine, asthma, diabetes, thyroid, glaucoma (increased pressure on the eye causes vision loss), kidney and liver disease, and gout (severe pain and redness in joints).

Medicinal Benefits

Concor Plus Tablet contains bisoprolol (beta-blockers) and Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretics or water pills), which collectively lower blood pressure. Bisoprolol helps relax our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. This lowers your blood pressure and helps in reducing your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. Hydrochlorothiazide works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid overload in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease.  Thus, collectively, both help in lowering high blood pressure.
