Does bystolic have a generic?

Is there a generic for Bystolic (nebivolol)?

Bystolic is the brand name of nebivolol. Yes, generic versions of nebivolol are available in the U.S., which means patients can usually switch from Bystolic to a generic “nebivolol” product.

Why do people still ask about “Bystolic generic”?

Bystolic has been used for hypertension, but brand-versus-generic availability can vary by:
- Dose/strength (some strengths are more likely to be stocked than others)
- Pharmacy inventory and local supply
- Whether a patient is specifically looking for the original brand name

What should you ask your pharmacist for?

Ask for:
- “Nebivolol tablets” (generic), and confirm the strength matches your Bystolic dose.
- Your prescriber’s permission if your prescription is written only for “Bystolic,” since switching from brand to generic sometimes requires a pharmacy substitution decision based on the prescription wording.
