Nebifid CN 5mg/10mg Tablet

Nebifid CN 5mg/10mg Tablet is a combination medication containing Nebivolol (5mg) and Cilnidipine (10mg). Nebivolol is a beta-blocker that helps in lowering blood pressure by slowing the heart rate and reducing the heart's workload. Cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker, works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which improves blood flow and further reduces blood pressure. This dual-action combination is commonly prescribed to manage hypertension and support overall cardiovascular health, ensuring better blood circulation and lowering the risk of heart-related conditions.
