How Besicor-T Tablet works
Besicor-T 5 Tablet is a combination of two blood-pressure lowering medicines: Bisoprolol and Telmisartan. Bisoprolol is a beta blocker which works specifically on the heart to reduce heart rate and lower blood pressure. Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the hormone angiotensin thereby relaxing blood vessels. Together they allow the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.
