Amlovas SN 5 mg/2.5 mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Nebivolol and amlodipine which lower blood pressure effectively. Nebivolol is a beta blocker that works specifically on the heart to slow down the heart rate while amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker which works by relaxing blood vessels.
Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist drug with distinctive pharmacokinetic characteristics which appear to be attributable to a high degree of ionisation. Following oral administration, bioavailability is 60 to 65% and plasma concentrations rise gradually to peak 6 to 8h after administration.
The pharmacokinetic features of nebivolol vary according to the phenotype of the metabolizer. After a 15-mg dose, peak plasma concentrations were reached at 0.5 to 2 hours in extensive metabolizers and in 3 to 6 hours in poor metabolizers. Absorption of nebivolol is very similar to that of an oral solution.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
