Ancor A Tablet 2.5 mg + 5 mg is a combination antihypertensive medicine containing Bisoprolol Fumarate and Amlodipine Besilate. It is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and may also be prescribed for patients with chronic stable angina who require both blood pressure control and improved cardiac function. The combination offers two complementary mechanisms of action to provide effective and sustained cardiovascular protection.

Bisoprolol Fumarate is a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker (beta-blocker) that slows the heart rate, reduces the force of heart contractions, and decreases the heart's oxygen demand. This helps lower blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart.

Amlodipine Besilate is a long-acting calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. This lowers blood pressure and improves oxygen delivery to the heart muscle, helping prevent chest pain (angina).

By combining these two medicines in a single tablet, Ancor A provides better blood pressure control than either medicine alone while improving patient convenience and treatment adherence. It also helps reduce the long-term risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and heart failure when used regularly alongside healthy lifestyle modifications.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Bisoprolol Fumarate 2.5 mg
• Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg

Indications

Ancor A Tablet is indicated for:

• Essential hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Hypertension requiring combination therapy
• Chronic stable angina
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients

How It Works

Bisoprolol blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, slowing the heart rate and reducing cardiac workload. Amlodipine blocks calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cells, causing blood vessels to relax and widen. Together, they lower blood pressure, improve blood circulation, and reduce the heart's oxygen demand.
