Bisotab 2.5 Tablet contains bisoprolol (2.5 mg) which works on your body through the following mechanisms:

• Blocking Natural Chemicals: Bisoprolol works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body such as epinephrine on the heart and blood vessels.

• Reducing Heart Rate and Blood Pressure: The blocking action reduces heart rate and blood pressure, easing strain on the heart.

• Improving Blood Circulation: By reducing strain on the heart, it makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around your body.

• Selective Action: Bisoprolol is cardioselective; it primarily affects beta-1 receptors in your heart, but at higher doses (≥ 20 mg), it can also block beta-2 receptors located in your bronchial and vascular smooth muscle.
