How Does It Work?

• S Amlodipine+Nebivolol contains nebivolol and s-amlodipine as its active ingredients.
• Nebivolol works by blocking the activity of certain proteins in the heart, lungs, pancreas, liver, and blood circulation system. It also lowers the heart rate which makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.
• S-amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels so blood passes through them more easily. This causes the lowering of blood pressure.
