Description
Nabiloc (2.5mg) Tablets contain Nebivolol, a modern and selective beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. Nebivolol works by slowing down the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, allowing smoother blood flow and reducing strain on the heart.
Regular use of Nabiloc helps lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications associated with high blood pressure.
