Bisotril 2.5 mg Tablet is an oral bisoprolol medicine in tablet form, with each tablet containing 2.5 mg of bisoprolol. It belongs to the beta-blocker class, which is commonly used to help manage high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. Bisotril 2.5 mg Tablet may also be used as part of treatment for chronic heart failure when a doctor decides it is appropriate. This specific 2.5 mg strength is a low-dose option that allows careful dose adjustment and monitoring.

How it works: Bisoprolol in Bisotril 2.5 mg Tablet blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which helps slow the heart rate and reduce the heart’s workload. As a tablet, it is taken by mouth and absorbed into the body to help steady blood pressure and support the heart over time.
