About this product
Overview
Gneb 2.5mg Tablet contains the active ingredient nebivolol, which belongs to the class of medications known as beta-blockers. Nebivolol is primarily used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain heart conditions. It works by blocking the action of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels, resulting in reduced heart rate, decreased cardiac output, and relaxation of blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure.
Ingredient
- Nebivolol: Nebivolol is a selective beta1-adrenergic receptor antagonist with vasodilating properties. It blocks the beta1 receptors in the heart, leading to reduced heart rate and contractility. Additionally, nebivolol enhances nitric oxide release from endothelial cells, resulting in vasodilation and improved blood flow.
Uses
Gneb 2.5mg Tablet is prescribed for the following purposes:
- Management of hypertension: Gneb 2.5mg Tablet is used to lower blood pressure in individuals with hypertension, either as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
- Treatment of heart failure: Nebivolol may be used in the management of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) to improve symptoms and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in certain patients.
- Prevention of angina: Nebivolol can help reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks (chest pain) by decreasing myocardial oxygen demand and improving coronary blood flow.
