HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If she had a reaction to the concor , it may be best not to use it again and to try another anti hypertensive medication.

Concor belongs to a family of drugs called beta blockers. It is one of the selective beta blockers , this means it only acts in certain parts of the body such as the heart. It is not suppose to affect lung function however persons react differently to medication.

Since she reacted negatively to it, it may be best not to use it again

I hope this helps

Hello."Concor"(bisoprolol) is a drug prescribed mainly to control heart rate.
"Concor"belongs to a group of drugs called beta blockers.Those drugs
one of its side effects is bronchial constriction(minor with bisoprolol that with other drugs oldest of that group ,for example atenolol).
Wheezing sound indicate that your mother was suffering bronchitis(allergic
viral...)and while the disease is active,"Concor"should not be taken
because increases the symptoms.
After the healing of bronchitis,"Concor"can be taked again,except if
the patient suffers chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or bronchial asthma.
If the patient not suffers that pathologies,can take "Concor"quietly;besides the dose
that your mother take(2.5 mgr)is low.
I wish you good health.

IF A PERSON DEVELOPS ALLERGY TO MEDICINE YOU SHOULD NOT START AGAIN AS IT WILL AGAIN CAUSE ALLERGY AND THERE CAN BE INCREASE IN DISEASE
YOU CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR AS HE CAN CHANGE THE SALT WHICH IS NOT CAUSING ALLERG FOR THAT PHYSICAL EXAMINATION IS REQUIRED YOU CONTINUE WITH VENTROLIN TILL YOU CONSULT YOU DOCTOR AND CHANGE SALT OF MEDICINE
