Nebicard H Tablet 15's belongs to the class of anti-hypertensives primarily taken to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce stroke risk in patients with high blood pressure. Nebicard H Tablet 15's is a combination medication generally used when a single medicine cannot control high blood pressure. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a life-long or chronic condition in which the force exerted against the artery wall becomes too high. It can lead to the risk of heart diseases like heart attack and stroke.

Nebivolol is a beta blocker that works on the heart particularly to lower heart rate and make the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. The diuretic hydrochlorothiazide lowers blood pressure by removing excess water and electrolytes from the body. It also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow over time.

Hypertension: The blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. High blood pressure is expressed as systolic/diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats or pumps out blood. Diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries between the heartbeats. Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) by a blood pressure monitor called a sphygmomanometer. Some of the symptoms are headache, dizziness, nosebleeds, altered vision, chest pain, weakness, and shortness of breath. However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
