Nebisis 2.5mg Tablet

Nebisis 2.5mg Tablet contains Nebivolol, a cardioselective beta-blocker that is primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart-related conditions. It works by slowing down the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. This helps lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Nebisis 2.5mg is usually prescribed when other antihypertensive medications are either ineffective or not well tolerated. It is generally well-tolerated and can be taken long-term under medical supervision.
