Duvadilan Retard Capsule SR 1*10

Product Overview
Duvadilan Retard Capsule SR functions as a vasodilator and uterine relaxant. It is primarily used to manage premature labor, a condition where uterine contractions occur earlier than expected. Additionally, it is effective in treating peripheral vascular diseases by improving blood flow.

This medication can be taken with or without food, but it is important to take it consistently at the same time each day for best results. The dosage and frequency will be determined by your doctor based on your specific condition. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions. Swallow the capsules whole with water and complete the full course as prescribed.

The most commonly reported side effect is dizziness. If you experience severe or persistent symptoms, inform your doctor. To minimize dizziness, get up slowly from sitting or lying positions and avoid driving or performing tasks that require focus until you know how the medicine affects you.

Before starting treatment, tell your doctor if you have any history of heart conditions or bleeding disorders. Also, disclose any other medications you are taking as they may interfere with the effectiveness of this medicine or increase the risk of side effects. Avoid engaging in strenuous or stressful activities to prevent triggering premature labor.

Indications

• Management of premature labor

• Treatment of peripheral vascular disease

Benefits

In peripheral vascular disease, blood circulation is impaired due to narrowed or blocked vessels. Duvadilan Retard Capsule SR helps widen these blood vessels, enhancing blood flow and reducing the risk of serious complications like heart attacks, strokes, or blood clots (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism). Adopting a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition and regular physical activity will further improve treatment outcomes.

Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and tend to resolve as your body adapts. Contact your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen. Common side effects include:

• Dizziness

• Palpitations

• Nausea and vomiting

• Flushing (warm sensation on the face, neck, and ears)

• Weakness

• Lowered blood pressure

Usage Instructions

Take the capsule exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not chew, crush, or break the capsule. It can be taken with or without food but should be consumed at the same time each day for optimal effect.

Mechanism of Action

Duvadilan Retard Capsule SR works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the uterus, thereby preventing premature contractions. It also dilates blood vessels to improve circulation in areas such as the hands, feet, and brain, which helps in managing peripheral vascular disease.
