Main Article Content

Abstract

Nebivolol is a β1-cardioselective β-blocker with vasodilating properties. Current guidelines prefer the use of such β-blockers in hypertension. Recently, selected nebivolol tablets have obtained registrations for use in coronary artery disease. The article presents selected clinical situations that may justify the preference for using this drug. Nebivolol belongs to the third generation of β-blockers used in the treatment of hypertension and combines two preferred pharmacological features today, which are vasodilation and cardioselectivity. These features provide effective lowering of blood pressure, reduction of heart rate, avoidance of adverse metabolic effect and most side effects.
