Prolomet R 25 Tablet ER

Product Introduction
Prolomet R 25 Tablet ER is a prescription medicine used to manage high blood pressure. By reducing blood pressure levels, it helps in lowering the risk of serious heart-related complications such as heart attack and stroke. Starting this treatment early can also improve the chances of survival in individuals who have experienced a heart attack.

This medicine should be taken with food at the same time each day to maintain stable levels in the body. It is important to continue taking it as directed by your doctor, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often does not show any symptoms. Stopping the medicine suddenly can worsen your condition. Along with the medication, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and following a nutritious diet will further help in controlling blood pressure.

Some commonly seen side effects of Prolomet R 25 Tablet ER are nausea, headache, weakness, dizziness, dry cough, low blood pressure, and increased potassium levels. While taking this medicine, you should avoid foods or supplements that are rich in potassium. As it may cause dizziness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Your doctor may recommend routine tests to monitor blood pressure, kidney function, electrolyte balance, and blood sugar levels.

Before starting the medicine, inform your doctor about any existing kidney or liver problems. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medication. It is also important to let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking, especially those for blood pressure or heart problems.

Benefits of Prolomet R Tablet ER in High Blood Pressure
This medicine works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. It also helps reduce the effects of certain natural chemicals that affect the heart and blood vessels, resulting in a slower heart rate and reduced strain on the heart. This leads to better blood pressure control and lowers the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, kidney problems, and other heart-related conditions. For best results, it should be taken regularly and not stopped without medical guidance.

How It Works
Prolomet R 25 Tablet ER contains two active ingredients, Metoprolol and Ramipril. Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, lowers the heart rate and improves the heart’s efficiency in pumping blood. Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor, relaxes the blood vessels, making it easier for the blood to circulate. Together, they help reduce blood pressure and ease the strain on the heart.
