There are many effective medications for treating heart patients and high blood pressure. In this context, we will review the difference between Silokenzok and Concor, which are two of the most common medications in this field. We will also learn through the Dalili Medical website about their components and prices, in addition to the possible side effects when using either of them.

**What are Silokenzok tablets?**

 

Silokenzok tablets contain an effective formula that aims to reduce stress hormones and tension that affect the heart, whether as a result of mental or physical effort. The components of these tablets include:

- **Metoprolol succinate**: helps lower high blood pressure.

- Contributes to preventing the recurrence of chronic migraine attacks.

- Treats many conditions associated with heart disease in different age groups.

**What is Concor?**

 

Concor is a drug used to treat high blood pressure and angina, as well as treat irregular heartbeats and acute myocardial infarction, in addition to treating coronary heart disease. This drug belongs to the beta-blocker category.

**How ​​to stop taking Silokenzok?**

 

It is recommended to consult a doctor before stopping Silokenzok, to determine an appropriate gradual plan that is consistent with each patient's condition. As stopping its use suddenly may lead to severe or annoying side effects.

**Is Silokenzok taken before or after food?**

 

Silokenzok doses can be taken with meals or after eating, as the absorption of the active ingredient in these tablets is not affected by the presence of food.

**Is there a relationship between Silokenzok and weight gain?**

 

Since Silokenzok belongs to the beta-blocker class, it may increase the possibility of weight gain, and this symptom is considered a possible side effect of using these medications.

**Does Silokenzok affect erection?**

 

Taking Silokenzok may lead to erectile dysfunction in some men, as a result of the drug's effect on blood pressure in the body in general.

**Does Concor weaken the heart muscle?**

 

Concor works to reduce the load on the heart muscle and its consumption of oxygen, which contributes to improving heart health and protects against the risk of angina and strokes. Using Concor incorrectly or in an inappropriate dose may negatively affect heart health. Therefore, it is necessary not to take Concor except after consulting a doctor and following up with him periodically.

As for the question of whether Concor 5 Plus leads to sexual dysfunction, the answer may be yes. Most beta blockers affect erection, with the exception of nebivolol (Niplet), which is the only drug in this class that does not affect erection.

However, this does not mean that all those who take Concor 5 or any beta blocker will face the problem of sexual dysfunction. The body's response to the drug varies from one person to another. Therefore, it is important to inform the doctor if you notice this problem, so that he can guide you to the names of blood pressure medications that do not affect erection.

**What is the ideal time to take Concor?**

 

It is usually preferable to take the dose in the morning, but if you feel dizzy, your doctor may recommend taking it before bedtime. Doses may also be adjusted if you are taking more than one blood pressure lowering medication, so it is advisable to follow your doctor's specific instructions for each case.

**What are the signs and symptoms of stopping Concor?**

 

Suddenly stopping these tablets may lead to a sharp rise in blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a doctor before stopping use to determine the appropriate action according to each case.

**What is the difference between Selokenzok and Concor?**

 

Selokenzok contains the active ingredient metoprolol, while Concor contains the active ingredient bisoprolol. Both belong to a class of medications known as beta-1 blockers, which work to lower high blood pressure and slow heart rate by acting on beta-1 receptors.

Bisoprolol is more selective for beta-1 receptors in the heart and has fewer side effects than metoprolol in Celoxetine.

Studies show that patients taking Concor have greater and more significant reductions in heart rate than patients taking Celoxetine.

**What is the difference between Ciloxenzok and Inderal?**

 

Ciloxenzok contains the active ingredient metoprolol, which belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-1 blockers. These drugs work to lower high blood pressure and reduce heart rate by affecting beta-1 receptors.

As for Inderal, it contains the active ingredient propranolol, which also belongs to the class of beta-1 blockers. Propranolol works by changing the heart's response to specific nerve impulses, which slows the heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, which contributes to lowering blood pressure.

**Can Concor be taken before bed?**

 

Your doctor may advise taking the first doses of Concor before bed, as the drug can cause dizziness. If dizziness persists, it may be recommended to take the dose at the same time each day.
