Nebilol 2.5 MG Tablet shows some common side effects like headache, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, diarrhoea, etc. These are temporary and resolve with time. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, consult your doctor. Since Nebilol 2.5 MG Tablet is available in different strengths, your doctor may give you a low dose at the start of treatment to prevent severe side effects. Depending on your response to the treatment, the dose may be gradually increased.

Nebilol 2.5 MG Tablet stops the message transfer to your heart by blocking the receptors (beta-adrenergic) present in the heart. This action reduces the activity of your heart. The medicine also relaxes your blood vessels. These two mechanisms together lower your blood pressure and make it easier for your heart to pump blood throughout your body.
It is important to note that nebivolol is metabolized by CYP2D6; hence pharmacogenetic variations can affect the various pharmacokinetics parameters. The active isomer (d-nebivolol) has a half-life of about 12 hours in extensive metabolizers of CYP2D6 and 19 hours in poor metabolizers of CYP2D6.
