Cadrol Tablet

Cadrol Tablet contains Bisoprolol, a medication that belongs to the class of beta-blockers. It is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (chest pain), and heart failure. By blocking certain receptors in the heart, Bisoprolol helps to reduce the heart's workload, improve blood circulation, and lower the risk of heart-related complications.

Uses of Cadrol Tablet

Cadrol Tablet is prescribed for the following conditions:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Angina (chest pain)
• Chronic heart failure
• Management of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
• Prevention of heart attack and stroke in patients at risk

How Cadrol Tablet Works

Bisoprolol, the active ingredient in Cadrol Tablet, is a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It works by blocking the action of certain neurotransmitters (such as adrenaline) on the heart. This reduces the heart rate and the force of the heart's contractions, leading to a decrease in the heart's oxygen demand. This helps lower blood pressure, prevent angina, and improve overall heart function in individuals with heart failure.
