1. What is Nesyrgy and what is it used for
Nesyrgy contains two active substances called nebivolol and amlodipine. These two substances help control high blood pressure:
- nebivolol is a medicine with cardiovascular action, belonging to the group of "selective beta-blockers" (i.e., with selective activity in the cardiovascular system). It prevents an increase in heart rate and controls the heart's pumping force. It also has a vasodilating effect on blood vessels, which in turn helps to lower blood pressure.
- amlodipine belongs to a group of medicines called "calcium channel blockers". Amlodipine prevents calcium from entering the blood vessel wall, which prevents the blood vessels from narrowing and, in turn, reduces blood pressure.
Nesyrgy is used to treat high blood pressure in adult patients who are already taking nebivolol and amlodipine in separate tablets at the same doses.
2. What you need to know before you take Nesyrgy
Do not take Nesyrgy if:
- you are allergic to nebivolol, amlodipine, or any special group of calcium channel blockers, dihydropyridines, or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6)
- you have liver problems
- you have heart failure that has recently occurred or worsened, or you are receiving treatment for circulatory shock due to acute heart failure with intravenous infusion to help your heart work
- you have severe heart rhythm disorders (e.g., second- or third-degree atrioventricular block, cardiac conduction disorders)
- you have asthma or wheezing (now or in the past)
- you have an untreated pheochromocytoma, a tumor located in the adrenal glands, which are located at the top of the kidneys
- you have a metabolic disorder (metabolic acidosis)
- your heart rate is very slow (less than 60 beats per minute)
- you have low or severely low blood pressure
- you have severe circulation problems in your arms and legs
- you have narrowing of the aortic valve (aortic stenosis) or cardiogenic shock (a condition in which your heart cannot supply enough blood to the body)
- you have heart failure after a heart attack.
Do not take this medicine if any of the above applies to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor before taking this medicine.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take this medicine.
Tell your doctor if:
- your heart rate is abnormally slow
- you have a type of chest pain due to a spontaneous spasm of the heart called "Prinzmetal's angina"
- you have untreated chronic heart failure
- you have first-degree heart block (a type of mild cardiac conduction disorder that affects heart rate)
- you have poor circulation in your arms or legs, e.g., Raynaud's disease or syndrome, cramp-like pain when walking
- you have prolonged respiratory problems
- you have diabetes: this medicine does not affect blood sugar, but it could hide the warning signs of low blood sugar (e.g., palpitations, rapid heartbeat) and may increase the risk of severe hypoglycemia when used with a certain type of antidiabetic medicines called sulfonylureas (e.g., gliquidone, gliclazide, glibenclamide, glipizide, glimepiride, or tolbutamide)
- you have hyperthyroidism: this medicine may mask the signs of an abnormally rapid heart rate due to this condition.
- you have an allergy: this medicine may intensify your reaction to pollen or other substances you are allergic to
- you have psoriasis (a skin disease - scaly pink patches) or if you have ever had psoriasis
- you need to have surgery, always inform your anesthesiologist that you are taking this medicine before being anesthetized
- you have had a recent heart attack
- you have recently had heart failure or problems with your heart valves or heart muscle
- you have a severe increase in blood pressure (hypertensive crisis)
As with any other medicine that lowers blood pressure, an excessive decrease in blood pressure in patients with disorders of blood flow to the heart or brain may cause a heart attack or stroke. Therefore, your doctor will carefully monitor your blood pressure.
