Hypertension
How it works
Nebivolol is a ß1 selective adrenoceptor antagonist whose hemodynamic effects differ from those of classical ß-adrenoceptor antagonist as a result of a vasodilating action. It has mild vasodilating properties attributed to its interaction with the L-arginine/nitric oxide path way, a property not shared by other ß-blockers. Nebivolol lacks intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane stabilizing activity at therapeutically relevant concentrations. At clinically relevant doses, nebivolol does not demonstrate a1-adrenergic receptor blockade activity.

Byscard Tablets Warnings
Warning 1
Care should be taken in diabetic patients however, as nebivolol may mask certain symptoms of hypoglycemia (tachycardia, palpitations). ß-adrenergic blocking agents may mask tachycardic symptoms in hyperthyroidism. Abrupt withdrawal may intensify symptoms.
Warning 2
The treatment with nebivolol is not recommended to be stopped abruptly since this might lead to a transitory worsening of heart failure. If discontinuation is necessary, the dose should be gradually decreaseddivided into halves weekly. If the angina worsens or acute coronary insufficiency develops, it is recommended that nebivolol be promptly reinstituted, at least temporarily.
Warning 3
ß-blockers can precipitate or aggravate symptoms of arterial insufficiency in patients with peripheral vascular diseases. Caution should be exercised in these patients.
