Nebivolol 5mg Uses
Nebivolol 5mg is used for:

How Does Nebivolol 5mg Work
Nebivolol acts by selectively blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, which decreases the heart rate and the force of heart muscle contraction. This reduction in heart workload helps to lower blood pressure. Additionally, Nebivolol uniquely exhibits nitric oxide-potentiating vasodilatory effects, which help to relax blood vessels and further reduce blood pressure.
