Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that acts by relaxing the blood vessels. This reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Bisoprolol (beta blocker) helps in relaxing our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body.

This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective.
