Nebivolol 5mg Tablets

Nebivolol is a beta-blocker used primarily in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure. It is available in tablet form, with a common dosage strength of 5mg. Nebivolol is known for its ability to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart, which can help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

How It Works

Nebivolol works by selectively blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. This action reduces the heart rate and the force of contraction of the heart muscle, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. Additionally, Nebivolol has vasodilatory properties, which are mediated through the release of nitric oxide. This causes the blood vessels to relax and widen, further reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow.
