Duvadilan Tablet acts as a vasodilator and uterine relaxant, primarily used to manage premature labor by relaxing uterine contractions that occur earlier than normal. It is also effective in treating peripheral vascular diseases, conditions characterized by poor blood circulation in the body’s blood vessels.
The tablet can be taken with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day to achieve consistent results. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Swallow the tablets whole with water, and continue taking them for the full prescribed period to ensure the best outcomes.
The most frequently reported side effect is dizziness. If this becomes troublesome or severe, inform your healthcare provider. To minimize dizziness, rise slowly from sitting or lying positions and avoid driving or activities that require full alertness until you know how the medication affects you.
Before starting Duvadilan, inform your doctor if you have any heart conditions or bleeding disorders. Also, provide a complete list of any other medications you are using, as some drugs can interfere with how Duvadilan works or reduce its effectiveness. Avoid strenuous or stressful activities to help prevent premature labor during treatment.
