Bisoprolol + Perindopril

Uses of Bisoprolol + Perindopril

Bisoprolol and perindopril are used in combination to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and manage heart failure. They belong to the class of ACE inhibitors, which work by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart.

How Bisoprolol + Perindopril Works

Bisoprolol blocks the action of certain natural substances that affect the heart and blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the strain on the heart. Perindopril works by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), leading to vasodilation and decreased aldosterone secretion, further lowering blood pressure.

Side Effects of Bisoprolol + Perindopril

Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, headache, and dry cough. Less common but serious side effects can include allergic reactions, fainting, and irregular heartbeat.
