bisoprolol<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The active substance in Bisoprolol Krka is bisoprolol. Bisoprolol belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers . These drugs work by affecting the body’s response to certain nerve impulses, especially in the heart. This effect means that bisoprolol lowers heart rate and makes the heart pump around the blood in the body more efficiently. At the same time, the heart’s need for blood and oxygenation decreases. Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weakened and unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.
