Nebimax SA 5mg/2.5mg Tablet

Nebimax-SA 5mg/2.5mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of heart-related complications such as stroke and heart attack. It combines two active ingredients—Nebivolol (5mg), a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate, and S-Amlodipine (2.5mg), a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels. Together, they help ease blood flow, reduce heart workload, and maintain healthy blood pressure levels for better cardiovascular health.

How Nebimax-SA 5mg/2.5mg Tablet works

Nebivolol reduces blood pressure by blocking beta receptors, which slows the heart rate and reduces its workload.
