nebivolol hydrochloride
Nebilet
®
(nebivolol hydrochloride) tablets 1.25 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg.
INDICATIONS:
Essential hypertension. Stable chronic heart failure (CHF) as an adjunct to standard
therapies in patients 70 years or older.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Hypersensitivity to the active or any of the
excipients; liver insufficiency or liver function impairment; acute
heart failure; cardiogenic shock or episodes of heart failure decompensation requiring IV inotropic the
rapy; sick sinus syndrome, including sino-atrialblock; second
and third degree heart block (without a pacemaker); history of bronchospasm (e.g. including COPD) and/or asthma; untreated phaeochromocytoma; metabolic acidosis;
bradycardia (HR < 60 bpm prior to starting therapy); hypotension (systolic BP < 100 mmHg); severe peripheral circulatory disturbances.
PRECAUTIONS:
Avoid abrupt
cessation unless clearly indicated – reduce dosage gradually over 1-2 wks; refer to full PI. If it must be withdrawn abruptly, close observation is required. Anaesthesia;
untreated congestive heart failure, unless stabilised; bradycardia; peripheral circulatory disorders (e.g. Raynaud’s disease, intermittent claudication); first degree heart
block; Prinzmetal’s or variant angina; lipid and carbohydrate metabolism – does not affect glucose levels in diabetic patients, but may mask symptoms of hypoglycaemia.
Hyperthyroidism; COPD/asthma; phaeochromocytoma; various skin rashes; conjunctival xerosis; oculomucocutaneous syndrome; psoriasis; increased sensitivity to
allergens and severity of anaphylactic reactions; galactose intolerance, Lapp-lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption; driving vehicles or operating
machines. Pregnancy (Cat C). Lactation. Children and adolescents. Renal and hepatic insufficiency – see Dosage and Administration.
INTERACTIONS:
Combination not
recommended: Class I antiarrhythmics; calcium channel antagonists (verapamil/dilitiazem); centrally-acting antihypertensives; other beta-blockers (incl. eye drops).
Combination to be used with caution: Class III antiarrhythmic drugs; anaesthetics (volatile); insulin and other oral diabetic medicines; calcium antagonists (dihydropyridine
type); catecholamine depleting agents; baclofen; amifostine; for other combinations requiring careful consideration, see full PI.
ADVERSE EFFECTS:
Headache, dizziness,
tiredness, fatigue, paraesthesia, constipation, nausea, diarrhoea, cardiac failure aggravated, bradycardia, hypotension, dyspnoea, oedema, slowed AV conduction/
AV-block, bronchospasm. Post-marketing reports of hypersensitivity, angioneurotic oedema, abnormal hepatic function, acute pulmonary oedema, acute renal failure,
myocardial infarction, others see full PI.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
Once daily dosing, can be given with or without meals, consistent approach is recommended.
Hypertension:
5 mg daily. Renal insufficiency: recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg daily, can be increased to 5 mg if needed. Patients > 65 years: recommended
starting dose is 2.5 mg daily, can be increased to 5 mg if needed. Patients > 75 years: caution must be exercised and these patients monitored closely.
Chronic Heart
Failure:
The initial up titration should be done gradually at 1-2 wk intervals based on patient tolerability starting at 1.25 mg once daily, increased to 2.5 mg, then to 5 mg
and then to 10 mg once daily. Initiation of therapy and every dose increase should be done under close supervision for at least 2 h. No dose adjustment is required in
patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency. Use in patients with severe renal insufficiency (serum creatinine
≥
250
µ
mol/L) is not recommended. Date prepared
17 December 2015.
