Nebivolol: Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions
Brand names: Nebivolol
# Nebivolol: What You Need to Know Nebivolol is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure. It works by helping your heart beat more slowly and with less force, which allows your blood vessels to relax and makes it easier for blood to flow through them. When you take this medication as prescribed by your doctor, it helps keep your blood pressure at a healthier level. This can reduce your risk of serious health problems like heart attacks and strokes. Before taking nebivolol, it's important to tell your doctor about all the other medications you're taking, because some drugs can interact with it in unsafe ways. For example, certain medicines that slow your heart rate or lower your blood pressure could cause problems when combined with nebivolol. You should never suddenly stop taking this medicine without talking to your doctor first, as that can cause your blood pressure to spike dangerously. Common side effects might include dizziness, fatigue, or headaches, but your doctor can help you manage these. Always take nebivolol exactly as your doctor directs and report any concerning symptoms right away.
