Nebilong H Tablet (10 Tab)

NEBILONG H TABLET (10 TAB) by MICRO LABS LIMITED is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: Nebivolol and Hydrochlorothiazide.

What is NEBILONG H TABLET used for?

NEBILONG H TABLET is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is typically prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to control blood pressure. By managing hypertension, it helps to reduce the risk of serious complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. This medicine may also be beneficial in managing mild symptoms of heart failure.

How does NEBILONG H TABLET work?

NEBILONG H TABLET works through the combined action of its two active ingredients: Nebivolol and Hydrochlorothiazide. Nebivolol is a beta-blocker that lowers the heart rate, makes the heart pump blood more efficiently, and relaxes and widens blood vessels, facilitating easier blood flow. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (a "water pill") that helps the body eliminate excess water and electrolytes, such as sodium, by increasing urine output, which in turn helps to lower blood pressure.

What is the usual dosage for NEBILONG H TABLET?

The usual dosage for NEBILONG H TABLET is one tablet once daily, or as prescribed by your doctor. It is recommended to take the tablet at the same time each day for consistent results, preferably in the morning to avoid frequent urination at night. The tablet can be taken with or without food. Do not stop taking this medicine abruptly, as it can lead to a sudden rise in blood pressure.

What are the possible side effects of NEBILONG H TABLET?

Common side effects of NEBILONG H TABLET can include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, dizziness, headache, and shortness of breath.

Most of these side effects are usually mild and temporary, resolving as your body adjusts to the medication. If any side effects persist, worsen, or cause concern, you should consult your doctor.

Is NEBILONG H TABLET safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

NEBILONG H TABLET is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy, as it may cause potentially harmful effects to the developing fetus due to its hydrochlorothiazide component crossing the placenta. If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, your doctor will likely advise you to take another medicine. Similarly, NEBILONG H TABLET is not recommended for use by breastfeeding women, as the medication may pass into breast milk, and its effects on the nursing infant are not fully known.

Can NEBILONG H TABLET be taken with other medications?

It is crucial to inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, or herbal products you are currently taking to avoid potential negative interactions.

Beta-blockers, like nebivolol, can also mask the symptoms of low blood sugar in diabetic patients and hide symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Regular monitoring of kidney function, blood pressure, electrolyte levels, and blood sugar levels will be necessary during treatment.
