This activity focuses on nebivolol, a potent medication used to treat hypertension. A thorough discussion of nebivolol’s dual role as a vasodilator and cardioselective β-blocker underscores its versatility when managing cardiovascular conditions. As a selective β-blocker targeting β-1 adrenergic receptors, nebivolol’s mechanism of action allows modulation of cardiac function while sparing β-2 receptors in the lungs and smooth muscles. This cardioselective profile makes nebivolol crucial for managing hypertension and vascular disease. By understanding its pharmacological actions, indications, contraindications, pharmacokinetics, and adverse event profiles, healthcare professionals gain the necessary knowledge to administer this medication effectively.
