About Amlopres-NB 5mg/5mg Tablet

NEBIVOLOL+AMLODIPINE is a combination of blood pressure-lowering medicine, primarily used to treat high blood pressure. NEBIVOLOL+AMLODIPINE contains Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Nebivolol (beta-blocker) which collectively lower blood pressure. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. As a result, it leads to heart diseases, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

NEBIVOLOL+AMLODIPINE contains Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Nebivolol (beta-blocker),  primarily used to treat high blood pressure. Amlodipine works by relaxing the blood vessels. Nebivolol acts by relaxing and widening the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood to all parts of the body. This lowers your blood pressure and helps in reducing your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective.
