Noracor (5mg) Tablets – 14’s | Nebivolol for Blood Pressure & Heart Health

Description

Noracor (5mg) contains Nebivolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker, used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and support heart function. It helps slow the heart rate and relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the heart’s workload. This decreases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.
