Bisoprolol is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure(hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidneyproblems.

This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body such as epinephrine on the heart and bloodvessels. This effect lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.
