This tablet works via a dual mechanism and includes two medicine Nebivolol and Telmisartan. It is used for the treatment of hypertension and high blood pressure. Nebivolol works by blocking beta receptors sites in the heart, blood vessels, and lungs. This results in inhibition of epinephrine which relaxes blood vessels, lowering the pressure and improving blood flow to the heart. Telmisartan displaces angiotensin II with very high affinity from its binding site at the AT1 receptor subtype, which is responsible for the known actions of angiotensin II.

Whenever you take more than one medicine, or mix it with certain foods or beverages, you"re at risk of a drug interaction.
