WHAT NOUMED BISOPROLOL IS USED FOR This medicine is used to treat heart failure. It is usually used in combination with other medicines. It contains the active ingredient bisoprolol fumarate. Bisoprolol fumarate belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. It works 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. NOUMED BISOPROLOL also slows your heart rate, which in turn increases the efficiency of your heart. NOUMED BISOPROLOL can help to reduce the number of heart failure episodes needing hospital admission and also the risk of sudden death. 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.
