Description: Concor AM is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: Bisoprolol, a beta-blocker that works specifically on the heart to slow down the heart rate, and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels. This combination helps to lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, and reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.

Key features:
• Combines two complementary drugs to manage hypertension from multiple angles.
• Convenient single tablet taken once daily.
• Bisoprolol is highly selective for β1 receptors, reducing heart rate and cardiac output without significant impact on vascular resistance.

Side effects:
• Its side effects may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, swelling of the ankles or feet, and slow heart rate.

Caution:
• Not suitable for patients with severe asthma, severe bradycardia, or certain heart conditions.
• Consult your doctor before use.
• Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is recommended during treatment.
