HOW CORBIS T 2.5 TABLET WORKS

CORBIS T 2.5 TABLET contains two medicines namely, bisoprolol and telmisartan. Bisoprolol works by blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate, reduces the force of the heart's contractions, and lowers blood pressure. This helps the heart work more efficiently and reduces its workload, making bisoprolol effective for high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and heart failure.

Telmisartan is an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker. It works by blocking the angiotensin receptor in the body which helps in keeping the blood vessels relaxed, thus lowering the strain on heart and enables heart to pump blood more easily.
