Nebivolol is a medication used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to the class of drugs known as beta-blockers and works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing heart rate, which in turn decreases the workload on the heart and lowers blood pressure. It may also be used in the treatment of heart failure.
Nebivolol is available in tablet form and is typically taken once a day with or without food. The dose may vary depending on the condition being treated and individual factors such as age and other medical conditions. Common side effects may include fatigue, headache, dizziness, and nausea. More serious side effects may include heart failure, low blood pressure, or worsening of lung disease.
As with all medications, it is important to take nebivolol as directed by a healthcare provider and to report any side effects or concerns. It may interact with other medications or medical conditions, so it is important to discuss any existing conditions or medications with a healthcare provider before starting nebivolol.
