Summary
Prolonged NSAID use can blunt the blood pressure lowering effect of beta-blockers such as esmolol. Esmolol is given short term by infusion, so the clinical impact is usually small and limited to a weaker hemodynamic response.
What this interaction means in plain words
Esmolol and Nabumetone have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Esmolol belongs to Cardiovascular; Nabumetone belongs to Musculoskeletal.
Why it happens
NSAIDs inhibit renal and vascular prostaglandin synthesis, causing sodium and fluid retention and opposing antihypertensive effects.
What to do
Monitor blood pressure and heart rate during esmolol infusion in patients on regular nabumetone, and titrate esmolol to response.
