Description
Nebix (5mg) contains Nebivolol, a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain heart-related disorders. It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing the heart rate, helping blood flow more smoothly and reducing the heart’s workload.
By maintaining healthy blood pressure, Nebix reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. The 5mg dose is commonly prescribed for adults requiring moderate blood pressure control or long-term heart health support.
