Bisoprolol fumarate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The active substance in this medicine is bisoprolol fumarate. Bisoprolol Orifarm 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 leads to bisoprolol causing the heart rhythm to slow down and the heart to pump around the blood in the body more efficiently. Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weak and cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
