Nebicard-V Tablet 10's

Nebicard-V Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medications called ‘antihypertensives’ primarily used in the treatment of hypertension. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic (long-term) condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently at higher than normal levels. If left untreated, this condition can increase the risk of heart-related diseases like heart attack, heart failure, stroke, irregular heartbeat and other complications.

Nebicard-V Tablet 10's contains Nebivolol and Valsartan. Nebivolol is a beta-blocker. It works specifically on the heart to reduce heart rate and lower blood pressure making it easier for the heart to pump blood to all parts of the body. Valsartan is an angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB). Angiotensin narrows the blood vessels increasing the blood pressure, therefore, blocking angiotensin can result in widening of the narrowed blood vessels. Together, Nebicard-V Tablet 10's can effectively treat hypertension or high blood pressure. 

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Nebicard-V Tablet 10's are nausea, vomiting, bradycardia (slow heartbeats), dizziness, hypotension (low blood pressure), hyperkalemia (increased potassium levels in the blood) and elevated liver enzymes. Inform your doctor immediately if any of these side-effects persist or get worse.

Nebicard-V Tablet 10's contains ‘Nebivolol’ and ‘Valsartan’ which is a fixed-dose combination used to treat hypertension in adults. It works by lowering the body’s production of substances that could increase heart rate and also widens narrowed blood vessels. It allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels. It shows greater efficacy and tolerability when compared to monotherapies. It helps to reduce serious complications of hypertension such as heart attack, stroke and end-stage kidney disease.

Before taking Nebicard-V Tablet 10's, inform your doctor if you have decreased potassium levels in the blood, kidney disease or on dialysis, liver disease, heart disease, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), are on a low-salt diet, and dehydration (due to vomiting or diarrhea).  If you notice dizziness, confusion, weakness and fainting while using Nebicard-V Tablet 10's, inform your doctor immediately. Do not exercise heavily or avoid hot weather as excess sweating may lead to dehydration, thereby resulting in low blood pressure and electrolyte imbalances. Severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may also lead to dehydration resulting in low blood pressure.

If you notice stomach pain, difficulty breathing, numbness in the hands, feet or lips, weakness in the legs and irregular heartbeat, inform your doctor immediately. These symptoms can be a sign of hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in the blood).
