Drug Interactions With Nebivolol

Several medications may cause drug interactions with nebivolol, including methacholine, "CYP 2D6 inhibitor" medications, and certain calcium channel blockers. While some interactions can affect the drug levels in your blood, others may increase your risk of serious side effects (such as dangerously slow heart rate or strokes). To help prevent interactions, tell your healthcare provider about all other medications you are taking.
