Frequently asked questions FOR Telbrit NB

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.

Telmisartan

Q. Should Telmisartan be taken in the morning or at night?
Telmisartan is generally recommended to be taken once daily, either in the morning or in the evening. Consider taking it at the same time each day as it will help you to remember taking it.
Q. How long does it take for Telmisartan to work?
You may see an improvement within a few days. But, the maximum benefit can be seen within 4-8 weeks of starting treatment.
Q. My blood pressure is now controlled. Can I stop taking Telmisartan now?
No, do not stop taking Telmisartan without consulting your doctor even if your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping it suddenly may increase your blood pressure which could be detrimental for you. Telmisartan does not cure high blood pressure but controls it. So, you may have to take the medicine lifelong. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Q. Can the use of Telmisartan cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood)?
Yes, Telmisartan can cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood). A regular monitoring of blood potassium levels may be advised by your doctor while taking this medicine.
Q. If I have some kidney problem, can I take Telmisartan? Can it further deteriorate my kidney function?
You can take Telmisartan if it has been advised by your doctor. Your doctor may ask you to get regular tests done (potassium and creatinine levels) in order to monitor your kidney function. Telmisartan may cause worsening of kidney function, therefore you should contact your doctor in case you notice swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands or unexplained weight gain.
Q. I am overweight and the doctor has prescribed me Telmisartan for blood pressure control. I am bothered that Telmisartan can increase my weight. Is it true?
No, do not worry since Telmisartan is not known to cause weight gain. In fact in animal studies Telmisartan has been found to decrease fat tissue.
Q. Does Telmisartan affect blood glucose levels in diabetics?
Telmisartan may lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Therefore, it is essential to keep a regular track of your blood glucose levels. Talk to your doctor if you are a diabetic because the dose of insulin or antidiabetic medicines may need adjustment.
Q. Do I need to follow any precautions if I take ibuprofen and Telmisartan together?
If you are taking ibuprofen and Telmisartan together, you should continuously keep a check on your blood pressure and kidney function. Telmisartan may enhance the side effects of ibuprofen which may further cause water retention, especially in patients taking Telmisartan for heart failure. Ibuprofen may interfere with the working of Telmisartan and decrease its efficiency at lowering blood pressure.
Q. Does Telmisartan work by causing excessive urination?
No, Telmisartan does not cause excessive urination and does not belong to the diuretic class of medicines. Telmisartan works by relaxing the blood vessels by blocking the effect of a substance known as angiotensin II. This substance is responsible for increasing the blood pressure by narrowing down the blood vessels.
