==Dosage and Administration==
 
===Hypertension===
 
The dose of BYSTOLIC must be individualized to the needs of the patient. For most patients, the recommended starting dose is 5 mg once daily, with or without food, as monotherapy or in combination with other agents. For patients requiring further reduction in blood pressure, the dose can be increased at 2-week intervals up to 40 mg. A more frequent dosing regimen is unlikely to be beneficial.
 
===Renal Impairment===
 
In patients with severe renal impairment (ClCr less than 30 mL/min) the recommended initial dose is 2.5 mg once daily; titrate up slowly if needed. BYSTOLIC has not been studied in patients receiving dialysis [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.4)].
 
===Hepatic Impairment===
 
In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, the recommended initial dose is 2.5 mg once daily; titrate up slowly if needed. BYSTOLIC has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment and therefore it is not recommended in that population [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.4)].<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = BYSTOLIC (NEBIVOLOL HYDROCHLORIDE) TABLET [FOREST LABORATORIES, INC.] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=8b8ad213-1dc8-454e-a524-075685c0e1a8 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 4 February 2014 }}</ref>
