Summary
NSAIDs can blunt the antihypertensive effect of beta-blockers through prostaglandin inhibition and fluid retention. Intranasal ketorolac has systemic absorption, and the effect is most relevant with prolonged use.
What this interaction means in plain words
Ketorolac intranasal and Nebivolol can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Why it happens
NSAID inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis leads to sodium and water retention and reduced antihypertensive effect.
What to do
Limit ketorolac to the shortest course possible and monitor blood pressure. Also monitor renal function in at-risk patients.
