Nabiolol Drug Information
Nabiolol belongs to a group of drugs called beta-blockers that work on the heart and blood vessels. Nabiolol slows down the heart by stopping the transmission of messages from some nerves to the heart. It does this by blocking small areas (called beta-adrenergic receptors) where messages are received by your heart. As a result, your heart rate slows down and becomes less intense. Blood pressure in the blood vessels decreases, making it easier to pump blood around the body.
Nabiolol is prescribed for you when your blood pressure is too high or if you have heart failure in which your heart is not working properly, and it is helpful for you in these situations. Nebiolol can also be effective in protecting the heart in heart attacks.
