Mechanism of Action :
Nebivolol is a selective & beta;1 receptor antagonist. Activation of & beta;1 receptors by epinephrine increases the heart rate and the blood pressure, and the heart consumes more oxygen.
Nebivolol blocks these receptors which reverses the effects of epinephrine, lowering the heart rate and blood pressure.
In addition, beta blockers prevent the release of renin, which is a hormone produced by the kidneys which leads to constriction of blood vessels. At high enough concentrations, this drug may also bind beta 2 receptors.
