About Apresol Tablet

DIHYDRALAZINE belongs to a group of medicines called 'antihypertensive' used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart-related chest pain (angina), heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) and prevent symptoms of migraine headache and tremors (fits). It affects our heart and blood circulatory system, especially controlling blood pressure through arteries and veins. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.

DIHYDRALAZINE belongs to a class of drugs called ‘peripheral vasodilators’ which act on the blood vessels directly and relax them, resulting in lowered blood pressure levels. Thus, it helps in reducing your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective.

DIHYDRALAZINE can be taken orally with or without food or as directed by your physician. Swallow the whole tablet with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it. DIHYDRALAZINE is preferable to take at the same time every day for better results. DIHYDRALAZINE is generally safe to consume. You may have a common side like an abnormal heartbeat, headaches, low blood pressure, diarrhea, and feeling sick and sick. These side effects are usually mild and short-lived. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Don't stop taking $ name without talking to your doctor first. Stopping DIHYDRALAZINE gradually may cause changes in your heart rhythm and blood pressure, cause chest pain, or a heart attack. Your doctor will lower your dose gradually over a period of time to help prevent these symptoms. You should not use DIHYDRALAZINE if you have a very slow heartbeat, asthma, serious heart condition (sick sinus syndrome), or any heart blockage. It should not be given to children less than 12 years of age. Before taking DIHYDRALAZINE, you should tell the doctor if you have any muscle disorder (myasthenia gravis, rhabdomyolysis), breathing problems (COPD, bronchitis, emphysema), low blood sugar level (hypoglycemia), low blood pressure (hypotension), depression, previous heart failure, liver/kidney disease, thyroid hormone disorder, adrenal gland cancer, or problems with circulation (Raynaud’s syndrome).
