NEBIX 2.5MG TABLET

NEBIX 2.5MG TABLET contains the active ingredient nebivolol, which is a beta-blocker. Nebivolol is used to treat conditions related to the cardiovascular system by blocking the action of certain natural substances that affect the heart and blood vessels.

Uses:

1. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure):
   • NEBIX 2.5MG TABLET is prescribed for the treatment of hypertension to help lower blood pressure.
2. Heart Failure:
   • It may be used in the management of chronic heart failure in adults.

Mechanism of Action:

NEBIX 2.5MG TABLET works by blocking beta receptors in the heart, leading to a reduction in the heart rate and the force of contraction. This results in the dilation of blood vessels, allowing for improved blood flow and reduced blood pressure.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Bradycardia (slow heart rate)

Serious side effects may include:

• Hypotension (low blood pressure)
• Changes in blood glucose levels
• Impaired liver function

When Not to Use:

1. Bronchial Asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):
   • NEBIX is generally contraindicated in patients with a history of bronchial asthma or COPD, as it may worsen respiratory function.
2. Second- or Third-Degree Atrioventricular Block:
   • It is contraindicated in patients with certain heart rhythm disorders, such as second- or third-degree atrioventricular block, unless a functioning pacemaker is in place.
3. Severe Liver Impairment:
   • NEBIX should not be used in individuals with severe liver impairment.

Precautions and Warnings:

• Diabetes:
  • Beta-blockers, including nebivolol, may mask some of the signs of low blood sugar in individuals with diabetes.
• Peripheral Vascular Disease:
  • Caution is advised in patients with peripheral vascular disease, as beta-blockers may exacerbate symptoms.
• Abrupt Discontinuation:
  • NEBIX should not be abruptly discontinued, as this may lead to an exacerbation of angina or the development of myocardial infarction.

Dosage and Administration:

• The dosage of NEBIX should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual patient’s condition and response to treatment.

Patients should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions, attend regular check-ups, and report any unusual symptoms or side effects promptly. This information is not exhaustive, and healthcare providers should refer to the prescribing information for a comprehensive understanding of the medication.
