Cardiogenic shock, overt cardiac failure, second or third degree AV block, and marked sinus bradycardia and known sensitivity to amlodipine/bisoprolol.
Bisoprolol selectively and competitively blocks β1-receptors but has little or no effect on β2-receptors except at high doses. Amlodipine relaxes peripheral and coronary vascular smooth muscle. It produces coronary vasodilation by inhibiting the entry of Ca ions into the slow channels or select voltage-sensitive channels of the vascular smooth muscle and myocardium during depolarisation. It also increases myocardial oxygen delivery in patients w/ vasospastic angina.

Amlodipine: Severe aortic stenosis, congestive heart failure and hepatic failure This medicine is not recommended for use in breastfeeding women unless absolutely necessary.
