Nebivolol HCl Used For Hypertension.

How it works

Nebivolol is a ß1 selective adrenoceptor antagonist whose hemodynamic effects differ from those of classical ß-adrenoceptor antagonist as a result of a vasodilating action. It has mild vasodilating properties attributed to its interaction with the L-arginine/nitric oxide path way, a property not shared by other ß-blockers. Nebivolol lacks intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane stabilizing activity at therapeutically relevant concentrations. At clinically relevant doses, nebivolol does not demonstrate a1-adrenergic receptor blockade activity.
