What is Nebivolol and for what Nebivolol is used?

Nebivolol is a lipophilic Beta-blocker. Nebivolol exerts its actions by exhibiting a high selectivity for Padrenergic receptors and also by reducing the peripheral vascular resistance by modulating No release. Nebivolol is devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic or membrane stabilising activity but appears to have nitric oxide-mediated vasodilatory effects.

Nebivolol can be used to treat high blood pressure. Nebivolol is indicated as a medicine for Essential Hypertension.
