Betanorm is a medication that contains the active ingredient nebivolol. It belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-blockers and is primarily used to treat various cardiovascular conditions.
Betanorm is commonly prescribed to lower high blood pressure. It works by blocking the action of certain chemicals in the body, resulting in the relaxation of blood vessels and reduced blood pressure.
Nebivolol, the active ingredient in Betanorm, may be prescribed for heart failure. It helps the heart pump more effectively, improving the symptoms and overall quality of life in patients with this condition.
