Nebivolol
Nebivolol is a beta-blocker medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, which reduces heart rate and the force of heart contractions, helping to lower blood pressure. This medication is typically prescribed when lifestyle changes alone are insufficient to control blood pressure.

Nebivolol is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It may be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medications to achieve better control.
Nebivolol is a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker. It reduces blood pressure by decreasing heart rate, decreasing myocardial contractility, and potentially reducing sympathetic nervous system activity.
Nebivolol should not be stopped abruptly as this may worsen chest pain or cause heart rhythm problems. It may cause dizziness or fatigue, especially when starting treatment. Patients should avoid alcohol and inform their doctor of all medications being taken. Those with certain heart conditions, severe liver impairment, or history of bronchospasm should not use this medication.
