Bisoprolol + Hydrochlorothiazide is a combination medicine that manages hypertension.
Bisoprolol is a beta blocker. It works by slowing down your heart rate and decreasing the force with which your heart muscle contracts. This reduces the amount of work your heart has to do and decreases your blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic or a "water pill." It increases the amount of urine your kidneys make, helping your body to get rid of extra salt and water. This lowers your blood volume and reduces your blood pressure.
Working in combination, these medicines provide more effective control over blood pressure than when either component is used on its own.
