Cilnidipine + Nebivolol is an antihypertensive combination.
Cilnidipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, works by selectively blocking L-type and N-type calcium channels, which helps relax and widen your blood vessels. This reduces the resistance to blood flow in your peripheral blood vessels and decreases the workload on your heart.
Nebivolol is a third-generation beta-blocker. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals like adrenaline on your heart and blood vessels. This slows down your heart rate and reduces its workload. Moreover, it also helps to widen your blood vessels by stimulating the release of nitric oxide from the endothelium, a layer of cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels.
