Bisoprolol 5mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 6.25mg Tablets IP Uses

How Bisoprolol 5mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 6.25mg Tablets IP works
Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker that works by slowing down the heart rate and reducing the force of heart contractions, which lowers blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that helps your kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body, further reducing blood pressure. Together, they provide a dual mechanism to effectively control hypertension.
