Arbitel-AM Tablet

Introduction
Arbitel-AM Tablet is a combination medication used to manage high blood pressure. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, which makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. By lowering blood pressure, this medicine helps reduce the chances of serious health problems like heart attacks and strokes.

This medicine can be taken with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time every day to get the most benefit. Your doctor will decide the dose based on your health condition and how you respond to the treatment. Even if you feel fine, do not stop taking it unless your doctor advises you to. Along with the medication, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, quitting smoking, reducing salt intake, and eating a healthy diet can improve its effectiveness.

Common side effects may include swelling in the ankles or feet, dizziness, headache, sleepiness, fatigue, or stomach discomfort. Since it can cause dizziness or drowsiness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. If any side effects persist or become troublesome, consult your doctor.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney issues or if you are severely dehydrated. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medicine. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function may be required during treatment.

Uses
Arbitel-AM Tablet is primarily used to treat high blood pressure, which helps in reducing the risk of complications like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.

Benefits
This medicine combines two active ingredients that lower blood pressure through different mechanisms. Together, they help relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to circulate blood. While you may not feel immediate improvements, consistent use helps prevent long-term health risks associated with uncontrolled blood pressure.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary. However, consult your doctor if they don’t go away or cause concern.
Some common side effects include:

• Sleepiness or drowsiness
• Swelling in the ankles or feet
• Headache
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Fatigue or tiredness
• Stomach upset or nausea
• Sudden drop in blood pressure

How to Take
Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew it. It can be taken before or after meals, but try to take it at the same time each day for best results.

How It Works
Arbitel-AM contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker, and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker. These two components work together to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, which lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart.
