- High blood pressure (hypertension) is designated as either essential (primary) hypertension or secondary hypertension and is defined as a consistently elevated blood pressure exceeding 140/90 mm Hg.

Medical Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Bystolic (nebivolol) is a beta-blocker drug indicated for the treatment of hypertension. Side effects reported with the administration of Bystolic are headache, dizziness, tiredness, slow heartbeat, nausea, or numbness or a cold feeling in your hands and feet.

Bystolic should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Bystolic Tablets Consumer Information: Uses
Nebivolol is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, kidney problems, and decreased sexual ability.
This drug belongs to a class of medications called beta blockers. It works by preventing a certain natural substance made by the body (adrenaline) from acting on the heart and blood vessels. This effect reduces your blood pressure, lowers your pulse (number of times the heart beats in 1 minute), and lessens strain on the heart.
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are...
