What is Bisoprolol Fumarate?
Bisoprolol Fumarate is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body, such as adrenaline, on the heart and blood vessels. It helps to lower blood pressure, reduce the workload on the heart, and improve the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively.
What is Perindopril Arginine?
Perindopril Arginine is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the production of certain substances in the body that can cause the blood vessels to narrow. This helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow.
