About Cardilol 5mg Tablet

NEBIVOLOL belongs to the group of medicines called 'beta-blockers' used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). NEBIVOLOL is also used to treat mild and moderate heart failure in patients aged 70 years and older in addition to other therapies. High blood pressure is a health condition in which the pressure in the blood vessels is high. The blood exerts elevated pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. Heart failure occurs when the heart isn't able to pump sufficient blood to the remaining parts of the body. 
 
NEBIVOLOL contains 'Nebivolol' that relaxes and widens the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood to all parts of the body. This helps in decreasing the blood pressure and the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. NEBIVOLOL helps in preventing increased heart rate and controls heart pumping strength.
