Cresar 80 AM Tablet

Product Overview

Cresar 80 AM Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage high blood pressure. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, which helps your heart pump blood more easily throughout the body. By controlling blood pressure, this medicine helps reduce the risk of serious health issues such as heart attacks and strokes. It is also useful in protecting kidney health, especially in patients with diabetes.

The tablet can be taken with or without food but should be consumed at the same time each day as directed by your doctor. Regular use is essential, even if you feel fine or your blood pressure is under control, as stopping the medication may worsen your condition. Incorporating healthy habits like regular exercise, quitting smoking, and following a low-salt, low-fat diet can further improve the medicine’s effectiveness.

Some common side effects include swelling in the feet or ankles, headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, and stomach upset. These effects are usually mild and tend to subside as your body adjusts. However, you should avoid activities that require alertness, such as driving, until you understand how the medicine affects you. If any side effects persist or cause concern, consult your doctor.

Before starting treatment, inform your healthcare provider if you have kidney or liver issues or are severely dehydrated. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before using this medicine. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function may be recommended during treatment.

Benefits of Cresar 80 AM Tablet

The combination of Telmisartan and Amlodipine in this tablet helps lower blood pressure by different mechanisms. Telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), relaxes blood vessels, while Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB), helps improve blood flow by making the heart’s pumping action more efficient. Together, they control blood pressure effectively and reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. Regular use as prescribed ensures long-term benefits, even if you may not notice immediate improvements.
