How Bisojoy 10 Tablet works:

Bisojoy 10 Tablet contain bisoprolol, which belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. When our body has to respond to stress, such as during exercise or anxiety, it releases a hormone called adrenaline. This hormone adrenaline attaches to beta-1 receptors in the heart, causing the heart to beat faster and harder, which increases blood pressure and the heart's need for oxygen.
