General Info:
Nebivolol is a kind of prescription medicine called a “beta-blocker”. Nebivolol treats high blood pressure (hypertension).
Nebivolol can lower blood pressure when used by itself and with other medicines.
Nebivolol is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, kidney problems, and decreased sexual ability.
Nebivolol belongs to a class of medications called beta blockers. It works by preventing a certain natural substance made by the body (adrenaline) from acting on the heart and blood vessels. This effect reduces your blood pressure, lowers your pulse (number of times the heart beats in 1 minute), and lessens strain on the heart.
Nebivolol is not approved for children less than 18 years of age.
Nebivolol is sold as brand names:
- Nebilet
- Bystolic
- Lobivon
