Frequently asked questions FOR Nebifine AM

Nebivolol

Q. How long does Nebivolol take to start working?
After 1 to 2 weeks of starting Nebivolol your blood pressure may decrease. However, it may take 4 weeks to see full benefits.
Q. Now that my blood pressure has become normal, can I stop taking Nebivolol?
No, you should not stop taking Nebivolol even if you start feeling better. Nebivolol controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. If you stop Nebivolol suddenly, you may increase your chances of having angina, heart attack, or irregular heart-beat. Talk to your doctor who may advise you to decrease the dose gradually over 1 to 2 weeks.
Q. What can happen if I take more than the recommended doses of Nebivolol?
Taking more than the recommended doses of Nebivolol may cause very slow heart-beat, low blood pressure with possible fainting, difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath, and acute heart failure. In case you take excess of Nebivolol, contact your doctor immediately.

Q. Can Nebivolol be taken if I am taking ibuprofen?
You have to be careful while taking both ibuprofen and Nebivolol and keep monitoring your blood pressure on a regular basis. The reason being, ibuprofen may interfere with the working of Nebivolol and your blood pressure may increase. Similarly, discontinuing ibuprofen may decrease your blood pressure. This is usually seen in cases where ibuprofen is used for a longer time.
Q. I am a diabetic. Can taking Nebivolol affect my blood sugar levels?
No, Nebivolol does not have any effect on blood sugar levels. However, keep tracking your blood sugar levels because use of Nebivolol may mask the symptoms of low blood sugar levels, like fast heartbeat and palpitations.
Q. Can Nebivolol be given to old age patients?
Yes, Nebivolol can be given to patients who are 65 or above, but strictly as per the doctor’s advice. In this patient group, the doctor would recommend to start with the lowest dose and gradually reach the desired dosage. In patients who are 75 years or older, close monitoring of blood pressure is required.
Q. What is the risk associated with Nebivolol if I take it during pregnancy?
Nebivolol should not be used during pregnancy since it decreases blood supply to the unborn baby which can result in death of the child in the womb. Decreased blood supply can slow down or retard the growth of the baby and may even lead to abortion or early labor. Inform your doctor that you are using Nebivolol if you have become pregnant, so that the doctor can change your medication.
Q. Does Nebivolol cause weight gain?
No, Nebivolol has not been reported to cause weight gain. Talk to your doctor if you experience weight gain while taking Nebivolol as it could be due to some other underlying condition.
Q. Does Nebivolol cause fatigue?
Nebivolol may cause fatigue (tiredness) and dizziness. Be very cautious while driving or using any machines or tools. Talk to your doctor if you have these problems while taking Nebivolol.
Q. Does Nebivolol cross the blood-brain barrier?
Yes, Nebivolol crosses the blood-brain barrier due to its lipophilic nature. Its lipophilic nature makes it capable of combining with lipids and fats. So, it is effective in the treatment of migraine and essential tremors. This could also cause higher chances of central nervous system effects such as lethargy, confusion, and depression.

S-Amlodipine

Q. Does S-Amlodipine cause itching?
S-Amlodipine may cause itching in some patients, though it is an uncommon side effect. However, if you experience severe itching contact your doctor.
Q. Is S-Amlodipine bad for the kidneys?
No, there is no evidence that S-Amlodipine causes deterioration of kidney problems. S-Amlodipine can be used in normal doses in patients with kidney problems. In fact, its blood pressure-lowering effect helps to prevent injury to the kidneys due to hypertension.

Q. Should I take S-Amlodipine in the morning or at night?
S-Amlodipine can be taken anytime in the morning or evening, usually prescribed once daily. Take the medicine as advised by the doctor. It is advised to take it at the same time each day so that you remember to take it and consistent levels of medicine are maintained in the body.
Q. How long do I need to take S-Amlodipine?
You should keep on taking S-Amlodipine for as long as your doctor has recommended you to take it. You may need to take it lifelong. Do not stop taking it, even if you feel well or your blood pressure is well controlled. If you stop taking S-Amlodipine, your blood pressure may increase again and your condition may worsen.
Q. Is S-Amlodipine a beta-blocker?
No, S-Amlodipine is not a beta-blocker. It belongs to a class of medicines known as calcium channel blockers. It lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels so that blood can easily flow through the blood vessels.
Q. What are the serious side effects of S-Amlodipine?
S-Amlodipine may cause some serious side effects such as liver problems (yellowing of skin, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite), pancreatitis (severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting), and recurrent chest pain which may be indicative of a heart attack. However, these side effects are rarely seen. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medicine to you because the benefit to you is greater than the risk of any potential side effects. Follow your doctor's advice.
Q. What should I avoid while taking S-Amlodipine?
Consult your doctor first before starting any new prescription or non-prescription medicines or supplements. Take low sodium and low-fat diet, and adhere to the lifestyle changes as advised by your doctor. Avoid eating grapefruit (chakotra) or drinking grapefruit juice while taking S-Amlodipine. Stop smoking and taking alcohol as this helps to lower your blood pressure and prevents heart problems.
Q. I have developed swelling over my ankles after using S-Amlodipine. What should I do?
S-Amlodipine can cause ankle or foot swelling. To reduce swelling raise your legs while you are sitting down. Talk to your doctor if it does not go away.
