Nebivolol is usually taken orally once daily, with or without food. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the correct dosage. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablets. It is best to take the medication at the same time each day to help remember your dose. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose.
Nebivolol should not be used in individuals who have severe heart problems, including heart block or sick sinus syndrome, without a pacemaker. It should also be used with caution in individuals with kidney problems, liver disease, or asthma. If you experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, swelling, dizziness, or slow heart rate, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Avoid sudden discontinuation of the medication as it may cause serious complications.
If you miss a dose of Nebivolol, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. In case of overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Overdose symptoms may include extreme dizziness, slow heart rate, and fainting.
Store Nebivolol at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in its original container, tightly closed, and out of reach of children.
Common side effects of Nebivolol may include headache, dizziness, tiredness, and nausea. Some people may also experience slow heart rate, low blood pressure, or swelling of the hands and feet. If any of these effects are persistent or worsen, contact your healthcare provider. Severe allergic reactions, though rare, may occur and should be treated as a medical emergency.
Nebivolol is an effective medication for managing hypertension and heart failure when used as directed. It may take some time to notice improvements, and it is essential to continue using the medication even if you feel fine. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider are necessary to monitor progress and ensure that the medication is working as expected.
