Product introduction
Nebi 5 Tablet is a cardiovascular medicine from the beta-blocker family, used mainly to keep high blood pressure under control and to lower the long-term chances of a heart attack or stroke. It works gradually, so it can take a few weeks of regular use before you notice its full effect, and many people need to stay on it long term. Because raised blood pressure often produces no obvious symptoms, it is important to keep taking the tablet even when you feel perfectly well.
