FAQ
Which Nebivolol strengths and pack sizes can I order?
Nebivolol comes as 2.5mg, 5mg and 10mg tablets. The 2.5mg and 5mg packs run from 30 to 360 tablets, while 10mg packs run from 30 to 180 tablets. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
How is Nebivolol delivered to Hong Kong for a long course?
For a long course of Nebivolol, tracked courier takes 5 to 9 business days with online tracking, while standard airmail takes 14 to 21 business days and is untracked. Every order ships in plain, unbranded packaging.
Which brand names does nebivolol have?
Brand names for nebivolol include Bystolic, Nebicard and Nebilet. Nebivolol tablets are a pure generic nebivolol product and are not any of those brands.
Can I take nebivolol with food?
Yes. Food has no effect on nebivolol, so it can be taken before, with or after a meal. The timing that matters is the hour of the day rather than the state of your stomach: keeping to the same slot helps the level in your body stay steady.
Is nebivolol the same as Bystolic?
They contain the same active ingredient. Bystolic is a brand name used for nebivolol in some countries, while the tablets sold here are labelled by the ingredient name in 2.5mg, 5mg and 10mg strengths.
Can I stop nebivolol if my blood pressure is normal?
The reading is normal because the tablet is doing its job, not because the high blood pressure has gone. Nebivolol controls pressure rather than curing it, and readings usually climb back to their previous level once it is stopped.
About Nebivolol
What nebivolol is taken for
High blood pressure is what nebivolol is for. As a beta blocker it dampens the nerve signals that make the heart beat faster and harder, and it also relaxes artery walls. Less force from the heart and wider vessels together bring the pressure down.
Readings usually come down slowly, and the full benefit may take about two weeks to show. This is a tablet for every day rather than one you reach for when you feel off — pressure stays steady only while you keep taking it.
One tablet a day, at a steady time
A tablet with water, once a day, with or between meals as you like. What helps is a repeatable hour, because one tablet has to cover a full 24 hours. Medicines that also lower blood pressure or slow the pulse stack on top of nebivolol, so together they can push both lower than either would alone. Keep the tablets in their original container with the lid closed.
Three strengths to choose from
The tablets come as 2.5mg, 5mg and 10mg. A course usually starts at a low strength and steps up no more often than every two weeks, which is where the smaller tablets earn their place: the dose can climb gradually without a switch to another medicine. Choose the strength that matches your dose, and a pack size that fits how long you are ordering for.
Side effects worth knowing
Headache, tiredness, dizziness and stomach upset such as nausea or diarrhoea are the ones people notice most, often in the first few weeks, and they tend to ease as the body adjusts. Trouble sleeping, and tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, are reported too.
The uncommon effects matter more: a pulse that feels much slower than usual, breathlessness, chest pain, swelling of the ankles or legs, and weight gain from fluid. Nebivolol is not used where the heart already beats very slowly, where there is severe heart block, or in asthma and other significant lung disease. In diabetes it can hide the early signs of a low blood sugar.
