Byvalson and Niacin Tablets

• Generic Name: nebivolol / valsartan
• Dosage Forms: tablet, film coated
• Other Brand Names: Byvalson

Byvalson contains a combination of nebivolol and valsartan. Nebivolol is a beta-blocker that affects the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).

Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Valsartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.

Byvalson is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. Lowering blood pressure may lower your risk of a stroke or heart attack.

Byvalson is sometimes given together with other blood pressure medications.

• Generic Name: niacin
• Dosage Forms: tablet

Niacin, also called nicotinic acid, is a B vitamin (vitamin B3). It occurs naturally in plants and animals, and is also added to many foods as a vitamin supplement. It is also present in many multiple vitamins and nutritional supplements.

Niacin is used to lower blood levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) and triglycerides, and increase levels of "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein, or HDL).

Niacin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
