Nebivolol 5mg + Cilnidipine 10mg — Uses and Benefits

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

HOW IT WORKS

• Nebivolol blocks beta receptors in the heart, slowing heart rate and reducing pressure on the heart

• Not a treatment for sudden chest pain or a hypertensive emergency
• Not meant for occasional or as-needed use for blood pressure spikes
• Not a cure for hypertension; it only controls it while taken regularly
