CORBIS AM 2.5/2.5 Tablets

Uses and Benefits of CORBIS AM 2.5/2.5 Tablets (Bisoprolol Fumarate 2.5mg + Amlodipine 2.5mg)

This medicine is prescribed for people with high blood pressure and certain heart-related conditions where both heart rate control and blood vessel relaxation are needed.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Controlling high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Managing chronic stable angina (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart)
• Long-term heart rhythm and blood pressure control in some heart conditions

HOW IT WORKS

• Bisoprolol blocks certain receptors in the heart, slowing the heart rate and reducing the workload on the heart
• Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure
• Together they help control blood pressure more effectively than either medicine alone

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used for sudden chest pain or heart attack emergencies
• Not a painkiller and not used for general body pain
• Not intended for occasional or as-needed use; it is meant for regular daily control of blood pressure
