 What is Nebicard used for?

 Nebicard reduces the heart rate, lowers the enhanced cardiac output, along with the relaxation of blood vessels. Nebicard 10 mg tablets are prescribed in the following conditions:

1. Hypertension: For treatment of primary hypertension. Primary hypertension has undetermined causes and develops gradually over time.
2. Chronic heart failure: For treatment of stable/mild and moderate heart failure, in 70 years and older patients.

 Nebicard shows higher cardio selectivity, than other beta blockers, recommended in hypertension (Nebivolol has shown 3.5 times more beta1 selectivity than bisoprolol). This potent medicine effectively decreases the blood pressure and heart rate. Nebicard helps in preventing cardiac complications and ensures better blood supply to the heart.

 How does Nebicard work?

 Nebicard is made up of Nebivolol, a third generation beta blocker that selectively blocks the β1 adrenergic receptors, present in cardiac tissues. They suppress the effects of adrenaline, which slows down the heartbeat, with minimal force, resulting in reducing blood pressure. It also decreases the stroke volume and preserves cardiac output. Alongside, Nebicard has a vasodilating effect, as it interacts with endothelial L-arginine / nitric oxide pathway and facilitates the release of nitric oxide. This, in turn, relaxes the blood supplying vessels and reduces tension.
