Usage of Nebivolol Hydrochloride
Hypertension
Management of hypertension (alone or in combination with other classes of antihypertensive agents).
β-Blockers generally not preferred for first-line therapy of hypertension according to current evidence-based hypertension guidelines, but may be considered in patients who have a compelling indication (e.g., prior MI, ischemic heart disease, heart failure) for their use or as add-on therapy in those who do not respond adequately to the preferred drug classes (ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, calcium-channel blockers, or thiazide diuretics). A 2017 ACC/AHA multidisciplinary hypertension guideline states that β-blockers used for ischemic heart disease that are also effective in lowering BP include Bisoprolol, Carvedilol, metoprolol succinate, metoprolol tartrate, nadolol, propranolol, and timolol.
Individualize choice of therapy; consider patient characteristics (e.g., age, ethnicity/race, comorbidities, cardiovascular risk) as well as drug-related factors (e.g., ease of administration, availability, adverse effects, cost).
The 2017 ACC/AHA hypertension guideline classifies BP in adults into 4 categories: normal, elevated, stage 1 hypertension, and stage 2 hypertension. (See Table 1.)

Hypertension. 2018;71:e13-115.
Individuals with SBP and DBP in 2 different categories (e.g., elevated SBP and normal DBP) should be designated as being in the higher BP category (i.e., elevated BP).

The goal of hypertension management and prevention is to achieve and maintain optimal control of BP. However, the BP thresholds used to define hypertension, the optimum BP threshold at which to initiate antihypertensive drug therapy, and the ideal target BP values remain controversial.
The 2017 ACC/AHA hypertension guideline generally recommends a target BP goal (i.e., BP to achieve with drug therapy and/or nonpharmacologic intervention) <130/80 mm Hg in all adults regardless of comorbidities or level of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. In addition, an SBP goal of <130 mm Hg generally is recommended for noninstitutionalized ambulatory patients ≥65 years of age with an average SBP of ≥130 mm Hg. These BP goals are based upon clinical studies demonstrating continuing reduction of cardiovascular risk at progressively lower levels of SBP.
Other hypertension guidelines generally have based target BP goals on age and comorbidities. Guidelines such as those issued by the JNC 8 expert panel generally have targeted a BP goal of <140/90 mm Hg regardless of cardiovascular risk and have used higher BP thresholds and target BPs in elderly patients compared with those recommended by the 2017 ACC/AHA hypertension guideline.
Some clinicians continue to support previous target BPs recommended by JNC 8 due to concerns about the lack of generalizability of data from some clinical trials (e.g., SPRINT study) used to support the 2017 ACC/AHA hypertension guideline and potential harms (e.g., adverse drug effects, costs of therapy) versus benefits of BP lowering in patients at lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
Consider potential benefits of hypertension management and drug cost, adverse effects, and risks associated with the use of multiple antihypertensive drugs when deciding a patient's BP treatment goal.
For decisions regarding when to initiate drug therapy (BP threshold), the 2017 ACC/AHA hypertension guideline incorporates underlying cardiovascular risk factors. ASCVD risk assessment is recommended by ACC/AHA for all adults with hypertension.
ACC/AHA currently recommend initiation of antihypertensive drug therapy in addition to lifestyle/behavioral modifications at an SBP ≥140 mm Hg or DBP ≥90 mm Hg in adults who have no history of cardiovascular disease (i.e., primary prevention) and a low ASCVD risk (10-year risk <10%).
For secondary prevention in adults with known cardiovascular disease or for primary prevention in those at higher risk for ASCVD (10-year risk ≥10%), ACC/AHA recommend initiation of antihypertensive drug therapy at an average SBP ≥130 mm Hg or an average DBP ≥80 mm Hg.
Adults with hypertension and diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease (CKD), or age ≥65 years are assumed to be at high risk for cardiovascular disease; ACC/AHA state that such patients should have antihypertensive drug therapy initiated at a BP ≥130/80 mm Hg. Individualize drug therapy in patients with hypertension and underlying cardiovascular or other risk factors.
In stage 1 hypertension, experts state that it is reasonable to initiate drug therapy using the stepped-care approach in which one drug is initiated and titrated and other drugs are added sequentially to achieve the target BP. Initiation of antihypertensive therapy with 2 first-line agents from different pharmacologic classes recommended in adults with stage 2 hypertension and average BP >20/10 mm Hg above BP goal.
Black hypertensive patients generally tend to respond better to monotherapy with calcium-channel blockers or thiazide diuretics than to β-blockers. However, diminished response to β-blockers is largely eliminated when administered concomitantly with a thiazide diuretic.

How to use Nebivolol Hydrochloride
General
BP Monitoring and Treatment Goals
Administration
Oral Administration
Administer orally once daily without regard to meals.
Frequent administration (i.e., daily divided doses) unlikely to be more beneficial than once-daily administration.
Dosage
Available as nebivolol hydrochloride; dosage expressed in terms of nebivolol.
Adults
Hypertension OralInitially, 5 mg once daily, either alone or in combination with other antihypertensives. Increase at 2-week intervals (up to 40 mg daily) in patients whose BP is uncontrolled with the initial dosage. Some experts state usual dosage range is 5–40 mg once daily.
Prescribing Limits
Adults
Hypertension OralMaximum 40 mg daily.
Special Populations
Hepatic Impairment
Initially, 2.5 mg once daily in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B). Increase dosage carefully, if necessary.
Contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C). (See Contraindications under Cautions.)
Renal Impairment
Initially, 2.5 mg once daily in patients with severe renal impairment (Clcr <30 mL/minute). Increase dosage carefully, if necessary.
Geriatric Patients
Dosage adjustment not required.
Poor CYP2D6 Metabolizers
No dosage adjustment required in poor metabolizers of CYP2D6 substrates.
Warnings
Contraindications
Warnings/Precautions
Warnings
Abrupt Withdrawal of TherapyAbrupt discontinuance of therapy is not recommended as it may exacerbate angina symptoms or precipitate MI and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with CAD. Gradually decrease dosage over a period of about 1–2 weeks; monitor patients carefully and advise patients to temporarily limit their physical activity during withdrawal of therapy. If exacerbation of angina occurs or acute coronary insufficiency develops, reinstitute therapy (at least temporarily).
Heart FailurePossible precipitation of heart failure.
Avoid use in patients with overt heart failure; use cautiously in patients with inadequate cardiac function and, if necessary, in patients with well-compensated heart failure. If heart failure worsens, consider discontinuing therapy.
Ischemic Heart DiseaseSafety and efficacy in patients with angina pectoris or recent MI have not been established.
Major SurgeryPossible increased risks associated with general anesthesia (e.g., severe hypotension, difficulty in restarting or maintaining a heart beat) have occurred in some patients who received β-blockers. Use with caution in patients undergoing major surgery involving general anesthesia, especially with myocardial-depressant anesthetics (e.g., cyclopropane, ether, trichloroethylene).
Effects of β-blockers can be reversed by administration of β-agonists (e.g., dobutamine, isoproterenol).
Bronchospastic DiseasePossible bronchospasm. Generally should not be used in patients with bronchospastic disease.
Diabetes Mellitus and HypoglycemiaPossible decreased signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia (e.g., tachycardia) and increased insulin-induced hypoglycemia.
Use with caution in patients with history of spontaneous hypoglycemia and in patients with diabetes receiving hypoglycemic agents.
ThyrotoxicosisSigns of hyperthyroidism (e.g., tachycardia) may be masked. Possible exacerbation of hyperthyroidism or thyroid storm if therapy is abruptly withdrawn.
Peripheral Vascular DiseasePossible precipitation or aggravation of arterial insufficiency. Use with caution.
InteractionsConcomitant use with nondihydropyridine calcium-channel blocking agents (e.g. verapamil, diltiazem) requires caution. (See Specific Drugs under Interactions.)
General Precautions
Risk of Anaphylactic ReactionsPatients with a history of anaphylactic reactions to a variety of allergens may be more reactive to repeated accidental, diagnostic, or therapeutic challenges with allergens while taking β-blockers. Such patients may be unresponsive to usual doses of epinephrine.
PheochromocytomaUse with caution in patients suspected of having pheochromocytoma; initiate therapy with α-adrenergic blocking agent before using any β-blocker.
Specific Populations
PregnancyCategory C.
LactationDistributed into milk in rats; not known whether distributed into human milk. Discontinue nursing or drug.
Pediatric UseSafety and efficacy not established in children <18 years of age.
Geriatric UseNo substantial differences in safety or efficacy relative to younger adults.
Hepatic ImpairmentDecreased clearance in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B); use with caution. (See Hepatic Impairment under Dosage and Administration.)
Safety and efficacy not established in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C); use is contraindicated in these patients. (See Contraindications.)
Renal ImpairmentDecreased clearance in patients with severe renal impairment (Clcr <30 mL/minute); use with caution. (See Renal Impairment under Dosage and Administration.)
Not specifically studied in patients undergoing dialysis; use with caution in these patients.
Common Adverse Effects
Headache, fatigue, dizziness, diarrhea, nausea.
