Nebivolol, S-Amlodipine

Nebivolol and S-Amlodipine is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Nebivolol is a beta-blocker that works by reducing the heart’s workload, while S-Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the blood vessels. Together, they help to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow throughout the body.
Nebivolol is a selective beta1-adrenergic receptor blocking agent, which means it mainly affects the heart and has a lesser impact on the lungs and other body tissues. It works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of the heart muscle’s contractions. This, in turn, reduces the amount of blood the heart pumps and the strain on the heart muscle, which can lead to better blood flow and lower blood pressure.
S-Amlodipine is an enantiomer of Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that affects the movement of calcium in the heart and blood vessels. By reducing calcium, S-Amlodipine relaxes the muscles in the walls of blood vessels, allowing the blood vessels to widen and blood pressure to decrease.
The combination of Nebivolol and S-Amlodipine is useful in patients who have not achieved adequate blood pressure control with a single medication. This drug is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management.
Take Nebivolol and S-Amlodipine exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if you feel well or experience no symptoms. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as sudden discontinuation may result in an increase in blood pressure or the return of chest pain (angina).
Possible side effects of Nebivolol and S-Amlodipine include dizziness, headache, tiredness, and swelling in the hands or feet. If you experience any of these side effects, contact your healthcare provider for advice.
