Byvas 2.5mg Tablet

Byvas 2.5mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Nebivolol, which is a beta-blocker medication used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain heart conditions. Nebivolol works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body, such as adrenaline, which can affect the heart and blood vessels.

Uses:

1. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Byvas 2.5mg Tablet is primarily used to lower elevated blood pressure levels in patients with hypertension. It helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, and thereby reducing blood pressure.
2. Heart Failure: It may also be prescribed for the management of chronic heart failure, a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently to meet the body’s needs. Nebivolol helps improve heart function and reduce symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue.

How it Works:

Nebivolol in Byvas 2.5mg Tablet selectively blocks the beta-1 receptors in the heart, which decreases the heart rate and cardiac output. This leads to a reduction in blood pressure and workload on the heart, helping to improve its efficiency and reduce strain on the cardiovascular system.
