About
This medication combines acebutolol, a beta-blocker, with amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker. Acebutolol works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, primarily in the heart, which reduces heart rate and the force of heart muscle contraction, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart's workload. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels by blocking calcium channels, leading to vasodilation and a further reduction in blood pressure. This combination provides a comprehensive approach to managing hypertension and angina, offering synergistic effects to achieve better blood pressure control and alleviate chest pain, especially when monotherapy is insufficient. It helps to improve cardiovascular function and reduce associated risks.
