Uses of Nebicard 10 mg

It contains Nebivolol as a primary ingredient used to treat high blood pressure.

High blood pressure is a severe medical issue that, if not appropriately managed, can lead to additional health problems and affects other organs such as the brain, heart, blood vessels, and kidneys.

How does Nebicard 10 work

Nebicard 10 mg has a vital ingredient Nebivolol, which belongs to the beta-blocker class of medicines.

It works by preventing specific natural substances in your body, such as Epinephrine, from acting on your heart and blood arteries.

It reduces blood pressure by causing the heart to beat slower and decreases blood pressure. 

When the blood pressure is lowered, the amount of blood and oxygen is increased in the heart.

Additionally, Nebivolol helps to dilate veins and arteries to enhance blood flow.
