Nebilong 5mg Tablet (Nebivolol) x30

Nebilong 5mg Tablet contains Nebivolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker with vasodilating properties. This medication effectively treats hypertension and heart failure while offering improved tolerability compared to traditional beta-blockers.

Uses

Nebilong 5mg Tablet treats high blood pressure (hypertension) and mild to moderate chronic heart failure. It helps reduce cardiovascular risks, prevents heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. Nebilong is often prescribed when other beta-blockers cause unacceptable side effects.

Benefits

• Effectively lowers blood pressure and heart rate
• Reduces risk of heart attack and stroke
• Improves heart failure symptoms and exercise capacity
• Maintains sexual function better than other beta-blockers
• Less likely to cause fatigue or depression
• Provides cardiovascular protection
• Suitable for diabetic patients
• Offers once-daily dosing convenience
• Well-tolerated in elderly patients

How It Works

Nebivolol selectively blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate and contractility, which lowers blood pressure. Additionally, it releases nitric oxide, causing blood vessel dilation and further reducing blood pressure. This dual mechanism provides effective cardiovascular protection with fewer side effects.

Dosage

Take Nebilong at the same time each day, with or without food. Dosage should be gradually increased under medical supervision.

Duration of Action

Nebilong begins working within 1-2 hours of administration, with peak effects occurring at 1.5-4 hours. The medication provides 24-hour blood pressure control with once-daily dosing. Full therapeutic benefits may take 1-2 weeks to develop with consistent use.

Side Effects

Common side effects include mild headache, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. Some patients may experience cold hands or feet, slow heart rate, or vivid dreams. Most side effects are mild and diminish as the body adjusts to treatment.

Warning

Do not stop Nebilong suddenly as this may cause rebound hypertension or heart problems. Use with caution in patients with diabetes, as it may mask signs of low blood sugar. Not recommended for patients with severe liver impairment, heart block, or severe heart failure.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Nebilong should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed, as it may affect fetal growth. It’s generally not recommended during breastfeeding due to limited safety data. Consult healthcare provider for alternative treatments during pregnancy and lactation.

Interaction

• May increase effects of other blood pressure medications
• Possible interaction with calcium channel blockers causing heart block
• May mask symptoms of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients
• Could interact with anesthetics during surgery
• Potential enhanced effects with alcohol consumption

Precaution

Use cautiously in patients with asthma, COPD, diabetes, kidney disease, or peripheral vascular disease. Regular blood pressure and heart rate monitoring is essential. Avoid abrupt discontinuation. Inform healthcare providers about Nebilong use before any surgical procedures.

Important Information

Nebilong is a prescription medication requiring regular medical monitoring. Take exactly as prescribed and don’t miss doses. Monitor blood pressure regularly at home if recommended. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Continue lifestyle modifications including diet, exercise, and stress management for optimal cardiovascular health.
