Summary
The effervescent aspirin product delivers analgesic-range aspirin doses, which may modestly reduce the antihypertensive effect of nebivolol with regular use. The sodium load from bicarbonate can add to this effect.
What this interaction means in plain words
Aspirin / citric acid / sodium bicarbonate and Nebivolol have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
