Indications

Nebivolol + Valsartan is a combination of two medicines: a beta adrenergic blocker (nebivolol) and an angiotensin II receptor blocker, or ARB (valsartan). It's used to treat hypertension, that is, to lower blood pressure. Bringing the pressure down reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, mainly strokes and myocardial infarctions.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Nebivolol is a cardiovascular medicine from the group of selective beta-blockers (that is, it acts selectively on the cardiovascular system). It stops the heart rate from rising and controls how strongly the heart pumps. It also widens the blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure. Valsartan works by blocking the angiotensin II receptor, acting on the AT1 subtype. This dilates the blood vessels and brings blood pressure down without affecting the pulse rate.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Nebivolol + Valsartan can cause harm to the baby if it is given to a pregnant woman, so it is not recommended during pregnancy. Mothers are also advised not to breastfeed while taking it.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: The recommended dose of Nebivolol + Valsartan is one 5 mg/80 mg (nebivolol/valsartan) tablet, taken by mouth once daily. It can be used as the first treatment, and also for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on valsartan 80 mg or on nebivolol up to and including 10 mg. The full blood pressure lowering effect is reached within 2 to 4 weeks. Raising the dose of nebivolol/valsartan 5/80 does not bring any meaningful further fall in blood pressure. Patients who already take 5 mg nebivolol and 80 mg valsartan separately can switch to the 5/80 tablet in place of the two components.
