What is Nebi 2.5 Tablet

Nebi 2.5 Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) and help prevent future heart attacks and strokes. It contains Nebivolol (2.5 mg) as the active ingredient, which belongs to a group of medicines called cardioselective beta-blockers. This medicine works specifically on the heart by slowing down the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, making the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body.

Aristo Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd manufactures Nebi in WHO-GMP certified facilities. Nebivolol blocks the effects of certain chemicals on the heart and blood vessels, reducing cardiac workload and lowering blood pressure. It is also used to relieve symptoms caused by an overactive thyroid gland and may be prescribed alone or combined with other medications.

Take Nebi Tablet with or without food at the same time each day for consistent results. It may take several weeks before you experience the full benefit, and you may need to take it for life. Continue taking it regularly even if you feel well, as most people with High Blood Pressure do not feel ill. Stopping suddenly can cause dangerous blood pressure spikes.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Common Nebi 2.5 side effects include fatigue, headache, dizziness, breathlessness, nausea, and edema. These are usually mild and short-lived. Your doctor will likely start with a low dose and gradually increase it to reduce side effect risks.

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have liver problems, a slow heart rate, severe circulation problems, severe heart failure, or low blood pressure. Lifestyle changes like a low-fat diet, regular exercise, and quitting smoking enhance effectiveness.

Store Nebi Tablet below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from moisture and sunlight. Keep it in its original packaging and out of reach of children.

Safety Advice

Liver Disease

Nebi Tablet is unsafe for patients with liver disease and should be avoided, especially in those with severe liver impairment. The liver metabolizes Nebivolol, and impaired liver function can cause dangerous drug accumulation in the body, increasing the risk of severe side effects including dangerously low blood pressure and heart rate. Use is not recommended in patients with severe liver disease.

Kidney Impairment

Patients with kidney disease should use Nebi 2.5 with caution, as dose adjustment may be necessary. The kidneys help eliminate the drug from the body, and impaired kidney function can slow this process, potentially leading to drug buildup. Your doctor will monitor your kidney function and adjust the dose accordingly to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Pregnant and Breastfeeding women

The safety of Nebi Tablet during pregnancy has not been fully established, as adequate studies in pregnant women are lacking. Your doctor will weigh the benefits against the potential risks before prescribing. For breastfeeding mothers, this medicine may be unsafe as limited data suggest it may pass into breast milk and potentially harm the baby. Use only if expected benefits outweigh risks.

Avoid

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Nebi 2.5, as it is not known whether the combination is safe. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as abrupt discontinuation can cause your blood pressure to rise suddenly, increasing the risk of angina, heart attack, or stroke. Your doctor will gradually decrease the dose over 1-2 weeks when stopping treatment. Avoid driving if you experience dizziness or symptoms affecting your ability to concentrate. If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar regularly, as this medicine can mask low blood sugar symptoms.
