The
beta blocker medication
Bystolic® (
nebivolol) is used for the treatment of
high blood pressure in adults. It comes in tablet form and is available by prescription only. There are currently three different strengths of Bystolic: 2.5 mg tablets, 5 mg tablets, and 10 mg tablets.
For most people, the starting Bystolic dose is 5 mg once daily. If necessary, your healthcare provider may increase your dose slowly (once every two weeks), up to a maximum of 40 mg once daily.
It is generally recommended that people with severe kidney impairment or moderate liver impairment start with a lower strength, such as 2.5 mg (one
Bystolic tablet, once a day). This medication is not recommended for people with severe liver impairment.
