Uses

Bisonext AM 5 Tablet contains two active ingredients: Amlodipine (5mg) and Bisoprolol (5mg). It's used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina). By controlling your blood pressure, Bisonext AM 5 Tablet can help reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
