Product Description
BETA NICARDIA is a fixed dose combination medication that contains Nifedipine and Atenolol. Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, helps relax and widen blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. Atenolol, a beta blocker, works by reducing the heart rate and force of contraction, also helping to lower blood pressure. This combination is commonly used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). The dosage of Nifedipine is 20.00mg per capsule and Atenolol is 50.00mg per capsule. BETA NICARDIA provides dual-action control of blood pressure, promoting cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of associated complications.
