Product Overview

Bisokem 2.5mg Tablet is commonly prescribed for the management of several cardiovascular conditions, including high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain), irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), and heart failure—especially after a heart attack. By easing the workload on the heart, it helps reduce the risk of future heart complications and promotes long-term cardiovascular stability. It may also assist in managing symptoms of an overactive thyroid in certain cases.

This medication improves heart function by slowing the heart rate and enhancing the heart’s efficiency in pumping blood throughout the body. It supports better blood flow, stabilizes blood pressure, and can significantly reduce strain on the heart.

Bisokem 2.5mg Tablet is typically part of a broader treatment plan that may include diet changes, regular physical activity, and lifestyle improvements like quitting smoking. For best results, it should be taken exactly as prescribed, without abrupt discontinuation, as stopping it suddenly can raise the risk of heart-related problems.

Uses

High blood pressure
Angina (chest pain)
Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia)
Post-heart attack heart failure prevention

Benefits

Bisokem 2.5mg helps reduce blood pressure and improves heart function. By blocking specific stress hormones that affect the heart and blood vessels, it slows the heartbeat and reduces its force, resulting in lower blood pressure. Continued use lowers the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney issues, even if you feel fine. Consistent usage as prescribed is essential for its effectiveness.

How It Works

Bisokem 2.5mg belongs to a class of medications called beta-blockers. It primarily targets the heart, reducing heart rate and blood pressure, which helps the heart work more efficiently and with less strain. This action is beneficial in managing both acute and chronic heart conditions.

Dosage & Administration

Take the tablet as advised by your doctor. Swallow it whole with water, without crushing or chewing. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day for consistency.

Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and temporary, often resolving as the body adjusts to the medicine. If they persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor. Common side effects include:

Dizziness

Slowed heart rate

Precautions

Before starting Bisokem, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, especially:
