Blood pressure is the force in your blood vessels when your heart beats and when your heart rests. You have high blood pressure when the force is too great. High blood pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood through the body and causes damage to the blood vessels. Medicines that lower your blood pressure lower your chance of having a stroke or heart attack.
The active ingredient is nebivolol. Statistically significant reductions in both diastolic and systolic blood pressure were noticed in all groups at doses of 20 mg daily and higher. Bystolic is contraindicated in patients with the following conditions: severe bradycardia, heart block greater than first degree, cardiogenic shock, decompensated cardiac failure, sick sinus syndrome without a permanent pacemaker in place, severe hepatic impairment, and hypersensitivity to any of its components.
Bystolic should be used cautiously in patients with peripheral vascular disease, thyrotoxicosis, severe renal impairment, hepatic impairment of any extent, and in patients undergoing major surgery. Concomitant treatment of Bystolic and nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers should be avoided or used cautiously if necessary; in these cases, electrocardiogram and blood pressure should be monitored closely. Patients with diabetes should be aware that treatment with beta-blockers may mask some of the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as tachycardia.
Patients with bronchospastic disease should not receive beta-blockers. Drugs known to inhibit CYP2D6 may increase plasma levels of Bystolic; patients using these agents together should be monitored as appropriate. Prior to discontinuing treatment with Bystolic, the dose should be gradually reduced over 1 to 2 weeks.
Sudden discontinuation of therapy has been associated with severe angina exacerbations, myocardial infarction, and ventricular arrhythmia. Bystolic is available in over 50 countries outside of North America. Its use is not recommended in patients who are breast-feeding.
