Hi & Welcome. I can understand your concern for the safety of Nevi 2.5 during pregnancy. It is not safe to take Nevi tablet during pregnancy. Nebi (Nebivolol) is a highly selective beta blocker commonly used to treat hypertension. As far as pregnancy is concerned Nebivolol has been designated as a Pregnancy C category medication because of its various effects noted in animal studies.  Because of the potential for beta blockers to produce serious adverse effect like decreased heart beats (bradycardia), it is usually not recommended to treat hypertension during pregnancy. To treat hypertension during pregnancy Methyl dopa or HY Chat Doctor.
