Vasocor HZ Tablet is a combination of Nebivolol and Hydrochlorothiazide used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). This dual-action therapy helps reduce blood pressure by lowering heart rate and removing excess fluid from the body, providing effective and sustained cardiovascular control. It is commonly prescribed when single-agent therapy is not sufficient.

Mechanism of Action
This combination works through complementary mechanisms:
-
Nebivolol: A selective beta-1 blocker that reduces heart rate, cardiac output, and promotes nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation, leading to lower blood pressure.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide: A thiazide diuretic that increases excretion of sodium and water, reducing blood volume and peripheral resistance.
Together, they provide enhanced antihypertensive effects and better blood pressure control.
