Description
Nib (2.5mg) contains Nebivolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and support heart function. Nebivolol works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing the heart rate, allowing blood to circulate more efficiently, reducing strain on the heart, and lowering the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney complications.
The 2.5mg dose is typically used as a starting or maintenance dose for adults requiring mild to moderate blood pressure control.
