Nebivolol is a prescription medication primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by slowing the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, which improves blood flow and reduces strain on the cardiovascular system. By controlling blood pressure, nebivolol helps lower the risk of serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. It is intended for long‑term management rather than cure, and patients are advised not to stop taking it suddenly without medical supervision, as abrupt discontinuation can worsen heart conditions.
