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.
Take NEBIVOLOL+AMLODIPINE as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take NEBIVOLOL+AMLODIPINE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition.

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Blood pressure is the measurement of the force that our heart uses to pump blood to all parts of the body. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is the pressure when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg, and diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg.
