Scientific Evidence:

Bisoprolol, the active ingredient in Prestilol, is a selective beta-blocker that works by blocking the action of adrenaline on the heart. This results in a slower heart rate and reduced strain on the heart muscle, making it an effective treatment for various cardiovascular conditions.

Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of bisoprolol in reducing blood pressure, improving exercise tolerance in angina patients, and reducing hospitalizations in heart failure patients. One study published in the European Heart Journal showed that bisoprolol significantly reduced mortality and hospital admissions in heart failure patients compared to placebo.

Additional Information:

• Prestilol should be used with caution in patients with diabetes, as it may mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia.
• It is important to regularly monitor blood pressure and heart rate while taking Prestilol.
