Nebivolol 5mg Uses

Nebivolol 5mg is used for:

  • Managing hypertension, helping to lower blood pressure levels effectively.
  • Assisting in the treatment and management of heart failure, improving survival rates and reducing hospitalizations for heart failure patients.
  • Potentially improving heart function and preventing secondary cardiovascular events.

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.
