Alsartan 50mg Tab.

Product introduction

Alsartan 50 Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the management of high blood pressure and heart failure. By lowering blood pressure, it reduces the likelihood of stroke and heart attack. It also protects kidney function, particularly in people with diabetes.

This medicine can be prescribed alone or along with other drugs. It can be taken with meals or on an empty stomach, at any time of the day. For best results, it should be taken at the same time every day. Even if you feel fine or your blood pressure appears under control, it is important to continue taking it regularly, as stopping suddenly can worsen your condition. Alsartan 50 is commonly prescribed and is generally safe for long-term use.

Adopting a healthier lifestyle enhances the effectiveness of this medicine. Activities such as exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol, and following a diet low in salt all contribute to better control of blood pressure. The medicine is usually well tolerated, though some people may feel dizzy, especially after the first few doses. Headaches may also occur. If these effects persist or become troublesome, speak with your doctor.

Before starting this medicine, let your healthcare provider know if you suffer from kidney or liver conditions. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before taking it. Your doctor may also monitor your blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels while you are on treatment.

Uses of Alsartan Tablet

• Management of high blood pressure (hypertension)

• Treatment of heart failure

• Reducing the risk of stroke and heart attack

Benefits

High blood pressure increases strain on the heart and arteries, raising the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney complications. Alsartan 50 helps relax the blood vessels, lowering and stabilizing blood pressure, improving blood circulation, and easing the workload on the heart. It contributes to overall cardiovascular health and helps protect against long-term damage.

Side effects

Most side effects are mild and resolve on their own. If they continue or worsen, consult your doctor. Commonly reported effects include dizziness, drop in blood pressure, low blood sugar, high potassium levels, and elevated blood urea.

How to use

Take Alsartan 50 Tablet exactly as prescribed. Swallow it whole with water without crushing or chewing. It can be taken with or without food, but should be taken at the same time daily for maximum benefit.

How it works

Alsartan 50 belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It prevents the action of certain natural chemicals that normally tighten the blood vessels. By relaxing these vessels, it lowers blood pressure, improves circulation, and allows the heart to pump more efficiently.

Safety advice

• Alcohol: Not recommended, as it can increase the risk of low blood pressure.

• Pregnancy: Unsafe. It should not be used during pregnancy due to potential harm to the developing baby.

• Breastfeeding: Likely safe if prescribed. Available data suggest minimal risk to the infant.

• Driving: Use caution. It is not clear if the medicine directly affects driving, but dizziness or reduced concentration may occur.

• Kidney: Usually safe in patients with kidney disease, though regular monitoring is advised.

• Liver: Should be used carefully in patients with liver problems. It is not recommended in severe liver disease.

Missed dose

If you forget a dose, skip it and take the next dose at the scheduled time. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
