Nebivolol 5 mg tablets
What is Nebivolol and what is it used for?
- It is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure.
- Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular diseases, especially strokes and myocardial infarction.
Do not take Nebivolol:
- If you are allergic to nebivolol.
- severe bradycardia
- Heart block greater than first degree
- Cardiogenic shock

Other medicines and Nebivolol:
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
- Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications:
- CYP2D6 inhibitors (fluoxetine, bupropion, paroxetine, amiodarone) may increase nebivolol levels.
- Reserpine or clonidine may cause excessive sympathetic suppression.
- Both digitalis glycosides (digoxin and digitoxin) and beta-blockers slow atrioventricular conduction and reduce heart rate. Their use can increase the risk of bradycardia.
- Calcium channel blockers such as verapamil or diltiazem may cause excessive decreases in heart rate and blood pressure.
- Antacids (such as cimetidine), which are used to treat excess stomach acid. If you are being treated for excess stomach acid, you should take nebivolol with meals and the antacid between meals.
- Asthma medications, nasal decongestants (such as pseudoephedrine), or certain eye disorders such as glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye) or dilated pupils.
