What is Nebilet used for?
Nebilet is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It belongs to a class of medications known as beta-blockers. Nebivolol, the active ingredient in Nebilet, works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body such as adrenaline. This helps to decrease the heart rate and blood pressure, thereby reducing the workload on the heart.
How to take Nebilet?
Nebilet tablets should be taken by mouth with a glass of water. The usual recommended dose for hypertension is one 5 mg. tablet daily, preferably at the same time each day. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or as directed on the medication label.
Do not suddenly stop taking Nebilet without consulting your doctor, as this could lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure or other complications. Your doctor may need to gradually reduce your dose before stopping the medication completely.
