Nebivolol is a generic drug, which means it’s an exact copy of the active ingredient in a brand-name medication. A generic drug is considered to be as safe and effective as the original drug. And generics tend to cost less than brand-name drugs.
Nebivolol is available as the brand-name drug Bystolic. If your doctor has prescribed nebivolol and you’re interested in Bystolic instead, talk with your doctor. They may have a preference for one version over the other. You’ll also need to check with your insurance provider, as it may cover only one or the other.
To find out how the Bystolic price compares with the cost of nebivolol, talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about cost and nebivolol.
Does nebivolol 5 mg cost more than nebivolol 2.5 mg?
It’s possible, since the 5-mg nebivolol tablet contains more of the active ingredient than the 2.5-mg tablets. Nebivolol tablet is available in multiple strengths, including 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg. Higher strengths may cost more than lower strengths.
Other factors that could affect what you pay for the drug include:
- the quantity you’re prescribed (such as a 90-day or 30-day supply)
- your insurance plan’s benefits (if you use insurance), including your drug copay amount
- your dosage and treatment plan
- the pharmacy you use
To find out the price of different strengths of nebivolol, talk with a pharmacist or insurance provider.

How does the price of nebivolol compare with that of similar medications such as metoprolol?
In general, nebivolol may cost more than metoprolol for various reasons. Nebivolol and metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL) belong to a class of drugs called beta-blockers. Both are generic drugs used to reduce blood pressure.
One contributing factor to the cost difference could be that nebivolol has not been available in generic form for as long as metoprolol. The longer availability of metoprolol has likely led to lower prices.
Your prescription cost can also depend on the following factors:
- the length of your treatment
- the quantity you’re prescribed
- whether there are payment assistance programs for your prescribed treatment
- whether you’re paying out of pocket or have insurance
To learn more about the cost of nebivolol compared with other treatments for your condition, talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.
If you take nebivolol long term, you may be able to lower its cost in the following ways.
Getting a 3-month supply
You may be able to get a 90-day supply of nebivolol. If approved by your insurance company, getting a 90-day supply of the drug could reduce your number of trips to the pharmacy and help lower the cost. If you’re interested in this option, check with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.
Using a mail-order pharmacy
Nebivolol may be available through a mail-order pharmacy. Using this type of service may help lower the drug’s cost and allow you to receive your medication without leaving home. Some Medicare plans may help cover the cost of mail-order medications. You may also be able to get a 90-day supply of the drug via mail order.
If you don’t have health insurance, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. They may be able to suggest online pharmacy options that could work for you.
If you need financial support to pay for nebivolol, consider looking into websites that offer cost resources and information. Two such organizations are:
These sites can provide details about drug assistance programs, ways to make the most of your insurance coverage, and links to savings cards and other services.
Below is information you may want to consider if you have insurance and receive nebivolol.
If you have insurance, your insurance company may require prior authorization before it covers nebivolol. This means the company and your doctor will discuss nebivolol in regard to your treatment. The insurance company will then determine whether the medication is covered. If a drug requires prior authorization but you start treatment without the prior approval, you could pay the full cost of the medication. You can ask your insurance company whether nebivolol requires prior authorization.
