Nebivolol + S-Amlodipine is a combination medication used for managing hypertension.
Nebivolol is a third-generation beta-blocker. It works by selectively blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart. This reduces heart rate and the force of the heart's contraction, thereby lowering the heart's workload and its demand for oxygen. Moreover, it stimulates nitric oxide release, causing blood vessels to dilate or widen.
S-Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It inhibits L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle cells and the heart muscle, preventing calcium from entering these cells. This causes the arterial muscles to relax, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure. It also dilates coronary arteries and arterioles.
