Medicine pack check sheet

Source-linked reading points

• 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg are labelled nebivolol amounts per tablet. '30' or '90 Tablets' is the bottle count, not the amount per dose. An unscored appearance is an identity clue and does not let the site infer self-splitting permission.
• The label warns against abruptly stopping BYSTOLIC, especially with coronary artery disease, because abrupt beta-blocker withdrawal may worsen angina or myocardial-infarction risk. Do not stop from one pulse or blood-pressure reading; use local emergency care for chest pain or another severe acute symptom.
• If another beta blocker (such as TOPROL-XL, LOPRESSOR/metoprolol, bisoprolol, TENORMIN, INDERAL LA or COREG), digoxin, diltiazem/verapamil or clonidine appears on the list, ask a pharmacist or prescriber to prioritise duplicate effects, heart rate, conduction and hypotension risk.
• The label says nebivolol may mask some warning features of hypoglycaemia; a person with diabetes should not rely only on a racing heart to detect low glucose. Fainting, severe bradycardia, breathing difficulty, swelling of the face/lips/tongue/throat or persistent chest pain requires prompt medical assessment; severe acute features require local emergency care.
