Overview
Nebicard 5mg Tablet contains nebivolol 5mg, a highly selective beta-1 blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and, in some patients, stable chronic heart failure.
Nebivolol works by blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart to slow heart rate and reduce the force of contraction, while also promoting the release of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels – together these actions lower blood pressure and reduce the heart’s workload.
How it Works
Nebivolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate and cardiac output. It also stimulates endothelial nitric oxide release, causing vasodilation, which further contributes to lowering blood pressure with less effect on the lungs’ beta-2 receptors than older beta-blockers.
Directions for Use
Take Nebicard 5mg Tablet at about the same time every day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly, as abruptly stopping a beta-blocker can cause a rebound increase in heart rate, blood pressure, or chest pain.
Dosage
The usual starting dose of Nebicard 5mg Tablet for hypertension is 5mg once daily, which your doctor may adjust based on your blood pressure response. Your doctor will determine the right dose for your condition, and may start at a lower dose if you have kidney or liver problems.
