Active ingredients in C07F

Active Ingredient Description
Bisoprolol and Amlodipine
Carvedilol and Ivabradine

Carvedilol is a vasodilating non-selective beta-blocker, which reduces the peripheral vascular resistance by selective alpha 1-receptor blockade and suppresses the renin-angiotensin system through non-selective betablockade. Ivabradine is a pure heart rate lowering agent, acting by selective and specific inhibition of the cardiac pacemaker If current that controls the spontaneous diastolic depolarisation in the sinus node and regulates heart rate. The cardiac effects are specific to the sinus node with no effect on intra-atrial, atrioventricular or intraventricular conduction times, nor on myocardial contractility or ventricular repolarisation.
