Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. Together, it helps treat hypertension.

Take Concor Plus Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Concor Plus Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience nausea, fatigue (tiredness), constipation, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, cough and slow heart rate.

Medicinal Benefits

Concor Plus Tablet contains bisoprolol (beta-blockers) and Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretics or water pills), which collectively lower blood pressure. Bisoprolol helps relax our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. This lowers your blood pressure and helps in reducing your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future.
