What is NEBI T TAB used for?

NEBI T TAB is a combination medicine primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It also helps in preventing cardiovascular complications, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke, managing coronary artery disease, and improving blood flow in blood vessels.

How does NEBI T TAB work?

NEBI T TAB contains two active ingredients: Nebivolol and Telmisartan. Nebivolol is a selective beta-blocker that works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the heart rate, thereby decreasing the force with which the heart pumps blood. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents a hormone called angiotensin II from narrowing blood vessels, leading to their relaxation and widening. Together, these actions effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the heart's workload.

What is the usual dosage for NEBI T TAB?

NEBI T TAB should be taken orally with or without food, as directed by your doctor. It is important to take the medication regularly at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood pressure control. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet. Your doctor will determine the correct dose based on your individual condition and how your body responds to the medicine.

What are the possible side effects of NEBI T TAB?

Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, low blood pressure (hypotension), cold extremities, slow heart rate (bradycardia), and edema (swelling). Some individuals might also experience high potassium levels (hyperkalemia), abdominal pain, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or tingling sensations. If any side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Is NEBI T TAB safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

NEBI T TAB is generally not recommended and is contraindicated during pregnancy as it may cause serious harm to the growing fetus.

It is essential to inform your doctor about all the medications, including herbal supplements, you are currently taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
