Zebeta Oral

Zebeta Oral Uses

Bisoprolol is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It is also used after a heart attack to prevent another heart attack from occurring and may help to reduce your risk of dying from heart problems.

This drug belongs to a class of medications called beta blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals such as adrenaline (epinephrine) on the heart and blood vessels. This results in a lowering of the number of heartbeats, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.
