About this product
Overview
Nebix 5mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Nebivolol, which belongs to a class of medications known as beta-blockers. It is primarily prescribed for the management 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, thereby reducing the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure.
