Yes, Nebivolol can be prescribed to patients aged 65 and older, but only under a doctor's guidance. Starting with the lowest dose and gradual adjustments are recommended, with close blood pressure monitoring for those 75 and older.
Caution is advised when taking ibuprofen with Nebivolol, as ibuprofen may raise blood pressure. Regular blood pressure monitoring is recommended, especially if ibuprofen is used long-term.

Nebivolol may lower blood pressure within 1 to 2 weeks, but full benefits may take up to 4 weeks.
Nebivolol should be avoided during pregnancy as it can reduce blood supply to the fetus, potentially leading to growth retardation, miscarriage, or premature labor. Inform your doctor immediately if you become pregnant while taking it.
