About Alsartan 25 mg Tablet

Alsartan 25 mg Tablet is prescribed for the management of high blood pressure and certain kidney problems related to diabetes. By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the chances of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications. Hypertension occurs when blood flows through the arteries with consistently high force, often without an identifiable cause.

This medicine contains Losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by preventing natural substances from tightening the blood vessels. As a result, the vessels relax, blood flows more easily, and the heart can pump more effectively.

Possible Side Effects

Some people may experience dizziness, fatigue, weakness, low blood pressure, or lightheadedness. Other effects such as anaemia, high potassium levels, low blood sugar, or changes in kidney function may also occur. Stomach discomfort, nasal blockage, frequent urination, muscle cramps, and pale skin have been reported in a few cases. Most of these issues are temporary and settle on their own, but if they persist or worsen, medical advice is needed.

When to Avoid

This tablet should not be taken if you are allergic to Losartan or any other ingredient in the medicine. It is not advised during pregnancy, especially in the later months, as it may cause serious harm to the developing baby. Women who are breastfeeding should consult their doctor before use. Children are generally not recommended this medicine.

How to Take

Alsartan 25 mg Tablet may be taken with or without meals. Try to take it at the same time every day, usually once daily, or as directed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water and do not crush or chew it.

Medicinal Benefits

Apart from reducing high blood pressure, Alsartan helps in slowing kidney damage in diabetic patients, decreases protein loss in urine, and lowers cardiovascular risks in individuals over 55 with other health concerns such as diabetes, smoking, or high cholesterol.

Overdose Precautions

Taking more than the prescribed amount may cause fainting, severe dizziness, or an abnormal heartbeat. If an overdose is suspected, seek medical help immediately.

Drug and Food Warnings

Avoid combining Alsartan with potassium supplements or potassium-rich foods, as they may lead to excessive potassium in the blood. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can increase the risk of low blood pressure. Patients with kidney or liver problems should use this medicine cautiously under medical supervision. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, blood tests, and kidney function is recommended during treatment.

Lifestyle Advice

Following a diet low in salt and rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products enhances the effectiveness of Alsartan. Limiting processed foods, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, exercising for at least 30 minutes daily, and managing stress all contribute to better blood pressure control.
