Nebivolol+indapamide
About Nebivolol+indapamide
Nebivolol+indapamide is a combination drug containing antihypertensive medication, primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension (High blood pressure) is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease. It is also used to reduce strokes and chest pain (angina) caused by the arteries' blockage. In addition to this, Nebivolol+indapamide is also used to treat preterm labour.
Nebivolol+indapamide contains Nebivolol and Indapamide. Nebivolol is a beta-blocker; that relaxes and widens the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood to all parts of the body. This helps in decreasing the blood pressure and the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Indapamide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits excess salt absorption in the body, resulting in increased chloride, sodium, and water excretion through urine. This diuresis process (increased urine production) and excess salts and fluid removal help lower blood pressure.
Take Nebivolol+indapamide as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Nebivolol+indapamide for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. You may experience nausea, constipation, fatigue, headache, stomach pain, diarrhoea, indigestion, weakness, dizziness, cough, peripheral oedema (swelling in feet and hands), nervousness, hypertonia (increased muscle tone) in some cases. Most of these side effects of Nebivolol+indapamide do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own as it may suddenly increase blood pressure, chest pain or may cause a heart attack. Let your doctor know if you have any liver or heart problems, are pregnant or breastfeeding. You should monitor your blood pressure regularly to be sure that the Nebivolol+indapamide is working efficiently. And also, a healthy diet, regular exercise is necessary to keep blood pressure under control. Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you're taking nifedipine. It can make side effects worse. Even a small reduction in sodium in your diet helps improve your heart's health and reduce blood pressure. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Nebivolol+indapamide as it might lower the blood pressure than normal.

Medicinal Benefits
Nebivolol+indapamide is a combination drug containing antihypertensive medication, Nebivolol, and Indapamide, primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). In addition to this, nebivolol also helps prevent increased heart rate and controls heart pumping strength, and indapamide also treats fluid retention and overload (oedema) in congestive heart failure patients. Nebivolol is a beta-blocker; that relaxes and widens the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood to all parts of the body. This helps in decreasing the blood pressure and the risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower, and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg, and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nose bleed, vomiting, and chest pain.
