Description
Nebix (2.5mg) contains Nebivolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker that helps control high blood pressure (hypertension) and improves heart function. It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing the heart rate, enabling smoother blood flow and reducing strain on the heart.
By maintaining normal blood pressure, Nebix helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. The 2.5mg strength is typically prescribed as a starting dose or for patients requiring mild to moderate blood pressure management.
