Description
Nabiloc (5mg) Tablets contain Nebivolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic heart failure. It lowers blood pressure by slowing the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily.
By maintaining optimal blood pressure and reducing strain on the heart, Nabiloc 5mg helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and long-term cardiovascular complications.
