Product Description

Nebivolol Hydrochloride 10mg Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called beta-blockers, used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).

It is also used for mild to moderate heart failure in patients aged 70 years and older, in addition to other therapies. High blood pressure occurs when blood exerts excessive pressure on vessel walls. Heart failure happens when the heart cannot pump enough blood to the body.

Uses

• Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure).

• Management of stable mild to moderate heart failure in elderly patients (aged 70 and older), as an adjunct to other therapies.

How it works

Nebivolol Hydrochloride 10mg Tablet contains Nebivolol, a beta-1 selective blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels by promoting nitric oxide release. This reduces heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and lowering the risk of heart attack or stroke.

Benefits

Nebivolol helps control hypertension and heart failure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing heart workload. It decreases blood pressure, lowers cardiovascular risks, and improves symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue in heart failure patients. Its vasodilatory effects may cause fewer side effects compared to other beta-blockers, and it can be used alone or with other medications for comprehensive management.
