Product Introduction:
Apresol Tablet contains Dihydralazine as its active ingredient. Dihydralazine is a vasodilator medication used primarily for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing blood pressure.
Apresol Tablet works by relaxing and enlarging certain small blood vessels so that blood flows through them more easily. It may be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time, each day. You must follow your doctor’s instructions exactly, taking all the prescribed medicines, in the right amounts, each day. These medicines will help keep your blood pressure down. Do not skip any doses. If you forget a dose of Apresol Tablet, wait until it is time for your next dose, then continue with your regular schedule. Do not stop taking it, or any of your other high blood pressure medicines, without checking with your doctor.
Apresol Tablet is generally safe and suitable for most people but has some potential side effects. The most common are headache, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and increased heart rate. Talk to your doctor if you are bothered by side effects or they do not resolve.
Benefits:
- Blood Pressure Control: Apresol Tablet helps in lowering blood pressure by dilating blood vessels, which reduces the resistance against which the heart pumps.
- Heart Failure Management: In some cases, it may be used in the management of heart failure to alleviate symptoms associated with decreased cardiac output and increased peripheral resistance.
- Angina Relief: Dihydralazine can also be used to relieve symptoms of angina (chest pain) by dilating coronary arteries, thus improving blood flow to the heart muscle.
