Description
Nebivolol is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Nebivolol is in a class of medications called beta blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing heart rate to improve blood flow and decrease blood pressure.
Nebivolol is 98 % protein bound, primarily to albumin, and reaches a peak concentration after 1.5–4 h. Nebivolol is metabolized in the liver, mainly via direct glucuronidation and secondarily through cytochrome P450 2D6
