Group I (15) received 10 mg nebivolol and in group II (15) received 25 mg metoprolol. All were recalled to record blood pressure on day 1, day 25 and day 45. Results: In group I, the mean SBP was 160.4, on 25th day was 152.2 and on 45th day was 141.6. In group II, the mean SBP was 166.2, on 25th day was 152.4 and on 45th day was 140.2. The difference was non- significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: Authors found both nebivolol and metoprolol found to be equally effective in patients with hypertension.
