Product introduction
Nebicard-H combines nebivolol, a beta blocker, with hydrochlorothiazide, a water tablet (diuretic). It is prescribed for high blood pressure when one medicine alone is not enough.

Uses of Nebicard-H Tablet
- High blood pressure (hypertension).
Benefits of Nebicard-H Tablet
The two ingredients lower blood pressure in different ways, so the combination often works better than either one alone. Good blood pressure control reduces the long-term risk of heart attack and stroke. Having both in one tablet keeps the daily routine simple.

How to use Nebicard-H Tablet
Take one tablet by mouth once a day, swallowed with water, at the same time each day. Because it contains a diuretic, many people prefer the morning so that urination does not disturb sleep. Your doctor will choose the dose and tell you how long to continue; do not stop it suddenly on your own.
How Nebicard-H Tablet works
Nebivolol blocks beta receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and reduces the workload on the heart. Hydrochlorothiazide helps the kidneys pass out extra salt and water, lowering the volume of fluid in the blood vessels. Both effects bring blood pressure down.

Frequently asked questions
What is Nebicard-H used for?

Will I pass more urine on this tablet?
Yes, the hydrochlorothiazide component increases urine output, which is why a morning dose is usually preferred.

No. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, and stopping the medicine can let it rise again. Follow your doctor's advice.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
Take it when you remember, unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Never double up to make up for a missed tablet.
