Nebivolol + S-Amlodipine

Introduction

Nebivolol + S-Amlodipine is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent heart-related complications such as heart attack and stroke. Nebivolol is a beta-blocker that helps relax blood vessels and reduce heart rate, while S-Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessels. Together, they work effectively to lower blood pressure and improve blood circulation. This combination is usually prescribed when single medicines are not sufficient to control blood pressure levels. Taking this medicine regularly helps maintain a healthy heart and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
