Nebula 5 Tablet

Nebula 5 Tablet is a tablet that contains nebivolol 5 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the beta-blocker class of medicines and is used to help manage high blood pressure, and in some patients it may also be used for certain heart conditions when prescribed by a doctor. Nebula 5 Tablet helps lower the workload on the heart and may reduce the risk of complications from uncontrolled blood pressure.

How it works: Nebivolol in Nebula 5 Tablet blocks certain beta receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and reduces how hard the heart has to work. It also helps blood vessels relax and widen, which can lower blood pressure over time.

Nebula 5 Tablet is the 5 mg strength, which is higher than Nebula 2.5 Tablet and is generally chosen when a doctor wants a stronger effect on blood pressure or heart rate. Because it is a full-strength tablet, it may be more suitable for people who have already been assessed for nebivolol and need this dose rather than the lower 2.5 mg option.

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Rate control in certain heart conditions when prescribed

• Swallow Nebula 5 Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you otherwise.
