Bivocard Nebivolol 5 mg - 30 Tablets

Product Overview:

• Bivocard (Nebivolol)  5 mg - 30 Tablets.
• Nebivolol is used to treat high blood pressure. It works by blocking receptors in your heart and relaxing your blood vessels, which helps lower your blood pressure. Common side effects include headache and feeling weak or tired. Call your health care provider right away if you have dizziness, confusion, trouble breathing, or wheezing. Nebivolol comes as an oral tablet.

Key Features:

• 
  

  It works by blocking receptors in your heart and relaxing your blood vessels, which helps lower your blood pressure. 

  
  

How it Works:

• 
  

  Nebivolol blocks beta-1 receptors in your heart. These receptors normally bind to hormones called catecholamines. When catecholamines bind to these receptors, it causes your heart to beat harder and faster. Blocking these receptors helps your heart beat more slowly. Nebivolol also causes your blood vessels to relax. These effects can help lower blood pressure, and may reduce your risk for heart attack and stroke.

  
  

Benefits:

• 
  

  Nebivolol is a beta-blocker that is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Lowering blood pressure may lower your risk of a stroke or heart attack.

  
  

Directions for Use:

• Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed.


• You may take nebivolol with or without food.


• Your blood pressure will need to be checked often.


• If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using nebivolol.


• You should not skip doses or stop using nebivolol suddenly. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse or cause serious heart problems, including heart attack. Follow your doctor's instructions about tapering your dose.


• Keep using nebivolol as directed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medicine for the rest of your life.
