What is Bystolic

NebivololThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryNebivolol is a medication used to lower blood pressure that is made up of two different elements: one that acts as a beta-blocker and another that stimulates the heart. It has been found to be more effective at lowering blood pressure than other beta-blockers such as atenolol, propranolol, and pindolol. Although it is an effective treatment, nebivolol is usually not the first choice for high blood pressure as many patients are typically treated with thiazide diuretics first. Nebivolol was approved by the FDA in 2007.

Effectiveness

How Bystolic Affects PatientsNebivolol is a drug used to lower high blood pressure. It works by blocking certain receptors in the body, which increases stroke volume and cardiac output. The effects of the drug can last for up to two days after stopping it, and a typical dose is 5-40mg daily. People should not suddenly stop taking it, as this can worsen coronary artery disease. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar levels, as Nebivolol can mask signs of low blood sugar.
How Bystolic works in the bodyNebivolol works by blocking certain hormones that regulate the heart rate and blood pressure. This leads to a slower heart rate and lower blood pressure. Nebivolol also reduces the amount of aldosterone (a hormone that causes more fluid to remain in the body) and renin (a hormone that causes narrowing of the blood vessels). This lowers the amount of fluid in the body, which makes it easier for the heart to pump. Lastly, nebivolol stimulates a hormone called nitric oxide which helps relax the blood vessels and reduce stress on the heart.

Bystolic for Ventricular Rate Control in Atrial Fibrillation
This beta blocker is great for controlling heart rate with few side effects. The only downside is that it's very expensive; however, the good news is that a generic will soon be available from ANI pharmaceuticals.
