bisoprolol fumarate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bisoprolol Orion contains the active substance bisoprolol fumarate which belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers protect the heart from excessive activity. Bisoprolol Orion works by affecting the body’s response to certain nerve impulses, especially in the heart. This effect means that bisoprolol slows down the heart rate and makes the heart pump around the blood in the body more efficiently. Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weak and unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.
