Mechanism of action

Nebivolol blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors on the heart, decreasing heart rate and contractility to lower blood pressure and reduce cardiac workload. Unlike non-selective beta-blockers, it has additional vasodilatory properties mediated through nitric oxide release in endothelial cells, providing additional cardiovascular benefits beyond traditional beta-blockade.
