Summary
Beta-blockade can oppose the cardiac effects of norepinephrine, and unopposed alpha-stimulation may cause marked hypertension with reflex bradycardia. Nebivolol may reduce the expected hemodynamic response to norepinephrine in shock.
What this interaction means in plain words
Nebivolol and Norepinephrine 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
Pharmacodynamic antagonism at beta-adrenergic receptors with unopposed alpha-mediated vasoconstriction.
What to do
Monitor blood pressure and heart rate continuously and titrate norepinephrine to effect. Be prepared for reduced inotropic response or reflex bradycardia.
What to ask your pharmacist
- Should I take them at different times of day?
- Does the dose of either medicine need to change?
- Is there anything I should avoid, such as alcohol or certain foods, while on both?
