BILOVAS TABLET

About

BILOVAS TABLET is a combination medication designed for the effective management of essential hypertension (high blood pressure). It combines a beta-blocker, Bisoprolol, with a thiazide diuretic, Hydrochlorothiazide. Bisoprolol works by blocking certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, that affect the heart and blood vessels, thereby slowing the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide, on the other hand, helps the body get rid of excess salt and water, which also contributes to lowering blood pressure. This synergistic action provides comprehensive blood pressure control, reducing the workload on the heart and decreasing the risk of serious cardiovascular events like strokes and heart attacks. It is particularly useful for patients who require more than one medication to achieve their target blood pressure.
