What the Health Canada label says it is for
1 INDICATIONS BYSTOLIC® (nebivolol tablets) is indicated for:  The treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension. BYSTOLIC may be used alone or concomitantly with thiazide diuretics or angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. See 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS, 4.2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment and 14 CLINICAL TRIALS. BYSTOLIC is not recommended for the emergency treatment of hypertensive crises. 1.1 Pediatrics The safety and efficacy of BYSTOLIC in pediatric patients have not been established and therefore use in children is not recommended. 1.2 Geriatrics No dosage adjustment is required in geriatric patients. Of the total number of patients receiving BYSTOLIC in clinical studies, 436 (18%) were 65 years of age or older. No differences in efficacy or safety of BYSTOLIC were observed between older and younger patients.

Other review policies

For Bystolic, PRZ-Nebivolol: no applicable EAP criteria are held and no ODB benefit is established. These policies do not establish coverage.

For rare, immediately life-, limb- or organ-threatening circumstances, the Compassionate Review Policy may consider an unfunded drug or indication, subject to its criteria and without bypassing the drug review process. Compassionate Review Policy

Compassionate Review Policy: source quote
Where there are rare clinical circumstances in immediately life, limb, or organ-threatening conditions, the Executive Officer will also consider requests for drugs or indications in situations where there has not been a decision by the Executive Officer to provide funding of the drug or indication as part of the Ontario Drug Benefit program (and the EAP), and the drug or indication requested would not circumvent the established review process for new drugs or indications as part of the drug submission process for listing within the Ontario Drug Benefit program. Requests must meet the criteria for the Compassionate Review Policy.

For cancer drugs, Case-by-Case Review considers rare, immediately life-threatening circumstances when no satisfactory funded treatment exists; its criteria and application process apply. Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs)

Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs): source quote
Note: Requests for cancer drugs are considered under the Case-by-Case Review Program (CBCRP) which is administered by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) on behalf of the Ministry of Health. The CBCRP considers funding requests for drugs (both oral therapies and injectable drugs) for the treatment of cancer in patients who have a rare clinical circumstance that is immediately life-threatening (death is likely within a matter of months) and who require treatment with an unfunded drug, because there is no other satisfactory and funded treatment. Please refer to the Ontario Health website for information on the application process, FAQs, eligibility criteria and program policies.
