Procor contains the active substance bisoprolol fumarate which is a cardioselective beta-blocker.
Bisoprolol is an intrinsic sympathomimetic and has membrane-stabilising properties. The antihypertensive effect of beta-blockers occurs as a result of the direct action on the heart by reducing cardiac output, contraction and cardiac frequency, by reducing renin production from juxtaglomerular apparatus, and by causing inhibitory effects in the central nervous system (CNS).
Procor is given as the fumarate in the management of hypertension and angina pectoris. It is also used as an adjunct to standard therapy in patients with stable chronic heart failure.
