Nebivolol exhibits high selectivity for beta1-adrenergic receptors and has vasodilating activity due to a direct action on the endothelium, involving nitric oxide release. It lacks intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane-stabilising activity.
Patients w/ inadequate cardiac function, well-compensated heart failure, myasthenia gravis. Patients undergoing major surgery involving general anaesth. May mask signs and symptoms of hypoglycaemia and hyperthyroidism. Abrupt withdrawal may exacerbate angina symptoms and/or precipitate MI and ventricular arrhythmias in patients w/ coronary artery disease. Pregnancy and lactation. Monitoring Parameters Monitor ECG, BP and blood glucose in diabetic patients. Lactation: Not known whether drug is excreted into breast milk; use not recommended

Increased plasma concentrations w/ potent CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g. paroxetine, fluoxetine, propafenone, thioridazine, quinidine). Concomitant use w/ antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g. amiodarone, disopyramide) or nondihydropyridine Ca channel blockers (e.g. diltiazem, verapamil) may cause conduction disturbance. Additive negative effects on AV conduction and heart rate w/ other beta-adrenergic blocking agents or digoxin. Concurrent admin w/ catecholamine-depleting agents (e.g. reserpine) may result in additive hypotension or bradycardia. Abrupt withdrawal of clonidine may increase risk of rebound HTN.
