What is a third generation beta blocker? newer class? better class? if so, better for what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bystolic (nebivolol): Here's the data: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/19412697 this is marketed in the usa as bystolic (nebivolol). Remember though, in medicine, "'newly approved' is not always the same as 'new and improved'". Older beta blockers are much less expensive, tried and true.
