FDA has not yet classified the drug into a specified pregnancy category.
Mode of Action
Nebivolol exerts its actions by exhibiting a high selectivity for beta-1 adrenergic receptors and also by reducing the peripheral vascular resistance by modulating nitrous oxide release.
Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits the reabsorption of Na and chloride at the beginning of distal convoluted tubule. It causes natriuretic effect mainly by decreasing Na and chloride reabsorption in the cortical segment of the ascending limb of the Loop of Henle by inhibition of a specific Na+Cl- co-transporter.
Interaction
Symptomatic hyponatraemia when combined with carbamazepine. Predisposes to allopurinol sensitivity reactions and impaired renal function. Potentiates hypotensive effect of beta blockers and ACE inhibitors; these also reduce diuretic-induced hypokalaemia.
Potentially Fatal: Enhance neuromuscular blocking action of competitive muscle relaxants. Cross-allergy with sulphonamides and sulphonylurea hypoglycaemics with resultant acute interstitial nephritis and vasculitis. Potentiates bone-marrow suppression caused by anticancer drugs. Potentiates aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity. Impaired control of diabetes by oral hypoglycaemic agents. May precipitate digitalis toxicity and lithium toxicity. Increased risk of hypokalaemia with corticosteroids. Prolongs paralysis caused by tubocurarine.
