WHAT BISOPROLOL GENERICHEALTH IS USED FOR Bisoprolol generichealth is used to treat heart failure. It is usually used in combination with other medicines. Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weak and unable to pump enough blood to supply the body's needs. Heart failure may start off with no symptoms, but as the condition progresses patients may feel short of breath and notice swelling of the feet and ankles due to fluid build up. Bisoprolol generichealth belongs to a group of medicines called beta- blockers. These medicines work by affecting the body's response to some nerve impulses, especially in the heart. As a result, it decreases the heart's need for blood and oxygen and therefore reduces the amount of work the heart has to do. Bisoprolol generichealth also slows your heart rate, which in turn increases the efficiency of your heart. Bisoprolol generichealth can help to reduce the number of heart failure episodes needing hospital admission and also the risk of sudden death. Your doctor may have prescribed Bisoprolol generichealth for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Bisoprolol generichealth has been prescribed for you.
