Concor Plus Tablet is primarily used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure). This is a combination medicine that falls under the category of antihypertensives.

In addition to hypertension management, it also aids in the prevention of severe cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. Particularly beneficial when a single medicine isn't effective, it helps in achieving better control over blood pressure levels.

Before you start taking this medicine, consult your doctor about your medical history and any ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects, notify your doctor immediately. It's crucial to continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for the most beneficial results.

Concor Plus Tablet is used for managing the following health conditions:

Control of high blood pressure
Prevention of major cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes
Protection of the kidneys in high-risk patients with hypertension

Directions for Use of Concor Plus Tablet 10

To correctly use Concor Plus Tablet, consider these steps:

Follow the instructions, dosage and timings prescribed by your doctor thoroughly.
Do not change the dosage on your own.
Maintain the diet recommended, and do not engage in activities forbidden by your doctor.

Concor Plus Tablet is taken orally.

Concor Plus Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Fatigue
Dizziness
Headache
Nausea
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Cold extremities: This can be experienced as cold hands or feet.
Slow heart rate: Also known as bradycardia, this is when your heart beats slower than normal.
Increased blood uric acid levels: This can sometimes lead to conditions like gout.
Altered blood lipid levels: This can affect the amount of fats, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, in your blood.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Concor Plus Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some guidelines to manage a couple of common side effects:

Nausea: Follow the diet and timings prescribed by your doctor. If the problem persists, inform your doctor.
Constipation: If you have this problem for a significant amount of time after taking the medicine, seek advice from your doctor.

Concor Plus Tablet consists of two active components:

Bisoprolol (5 mg): As a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker, Bisoprolol acts on your heart. It reduces both your heart rate and the force of your heart contractions, lowering your heart's workload and oxygen demand. By enhancing the efficiency of your heart's pumping action, Bisoprolol aids in reducing blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg): This thiazide diuretic contributes to lowering blood pressure by increasing urine production, which helps remove excess water and salt from your body. Over time, it also relaxes and widens your blood vessels, enhancing blood flow and contributing further to managing high blood pressure.

The combined activity of these two medicines results in a more significant reduction in blood pressure than either component alone.
