Active Ingredient Description
Bisoprolol and Hydrochlorothiazide

Bisoprolol fumarate and hydrochlorothiazide have been used individually and in combination for the treatment of hypertension. They combine a synthetic beta1-selective (cardioselective) adrenoceptor blocking agent (bisoprolol fumarate) and a benzothiadiazine diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide). The antihypertensive effects of these agents are additive; hydrochlorothiazide significantly increases the antihypertensive effect of bisoprolol fumarate.
