Sobycor 10 mg. 30 tablets

What is Sobycor and what is it used for?
The medicine in Sobycor is bisoprolol. Bisoprolol belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. These drugs affect the body's response to some nervous impulses, especially in the heart. As a result, bisoprolol slows the heart rate and thus increases the efficiency of the heart when pumping blood. At the same time, the need for oxygen and blood supply to the myocardium is decreasing.

Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weak and unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.

Sobycor is used for:

increased blood pressure (hypertension)
treatment of angina pectoris
treatment of stable, chronic heart failure.
It is used in combination with other medicines that are appropriate for this condition (such as ACE inhibitors, diuretics and cardiac glycosides).
