Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Nebivolol and Apple Polyphenols. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Apple Polyphenols Overview
Apple polyphenols are phytochemicals extracted from apples, containing compounds such as chlorogenic acid, phlorizin, phloretin, epicatechin, procyanidins, quercetin, and kaempferol. These polyphenols are believed to offer therapeutic benefits primarily through their antioxidant effects. They are commonly used for conditions like hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and obesity, although there's insufficient reliable information to rate their effectiveness for these uses. Apple polyphenols are typically considered safe when used orally, short-term, or topically, with no known major drug interactions. They are absorbed in the gut, with salivary digestion playing a role, and are metabolized via methylation, sulfation, and glucuronidation before being released into the bloodstream.
Nebivolol Overview
-
Nebivolol is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Nebivolol is in a class of medications called beta blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing heart rate to improve blood flow and decrease blood pressure.
-
High blood pressure is a common condition and when not treated, can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys and other parts of the body. Damage to these organs may cause heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems. In addition to taking medication, making lifestyle changes will also help to control your blood pressure. These changes include eating a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising at least 30 minutes most days, not smoking, and using alcohol in moderation.
