Bisoprolol is a medication that belongs to a group called beta-blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, such as adrenaline, on the heart and blood vessels. This helps to lower your blood pressure, reduce chest pain, and improve your heart's overall function. Bisoprolol is suitable for individuals with conditions like high blood pressure, heart failure, or angina.
