This combination medication works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing down the heart rate. Benidipine blocks calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, leading to relaxation and widening of the vessels. Metoprolol blocks the effects of adrenaline and other hormones that can cause the heart to beat faster and stronger, thus lowering blood pressure and reducing the workload of the heart.
