Betacor HZ Tablet combines Bisoprolol Fumarate 2.5 mg, a selective beta-1 blocker, with Hydrochlorothiazide 6.25 mg, a thiazide diuretic, to provide effective management of hypertension. This low-dose combination is ideal for initiating therapy, titrating doses, or treating patients sensitive to higher beta-blocker doses.
The dual-action formulation works synergistically: Bisoprolol reduces heart rate and myocardial oxygen demand, while Hydrochlorothiazide promotes sodium and water excretion, lowering blood volume and vascular pressure. Betacor HZ helps maintain optimal blood pressure, protect the heart, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Indications
Betacor HZ Tablet 2.5 mg + 6.25 mg is indicated for:
-
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
-
Patients needing combination therapy for effective blood pressure control
-
Individuals at risk of cardiovascular complications due to uncontrolled hypertension
Mechanism of Action
-
Bisoprolol Fumarate (2.5 mg): Selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate, cardiac output, and myocardial oxygen demand.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide (6.25 mg): Inhibits sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubules, increasing sodium and water excretion, reducing blood volume and blood pressure.
-
The combination targets both cardiac and vascular mechanisms, providing additive antihypertensive effects.

Administer once daily or as prescribed by a physician
-
Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food
-
Do not discontinue abruptly; sudden cessation may worsen hypertension or angina
-
Dose adjustments should be guided by a healthcare professional based on blood pressure and heart rate response
