Supermet-AM Tablet PR

Product Overview
Supermet-AM Tablet PR combines two active ingredients that work together to manage high blood pressure and regulate heart rate. It is also prescribed for conditions such as angina (chest pain related to the heart), irregular heart rhythms, and chronic heart failure.

This medication can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food, but it is best to take it consistently at the same time each day. Continue using Supermet-AM Tablet PR as directed by your healthcare provider, even if you feel well, since high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medication without medical advice can worsen your condition. Along with medication, maintaining a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, weight management, and a balanced diet helps in controlling blood pressure. Always follow your doctor’s instructions while on this treatment.

Some possible side effects include headaches, swelling of the ankles, skin rashes, slow heart rate, nausea, and mood changes such as depression. Dizziness may also occur, so avoid driving or performing tasks that require full attention until you understand how this medicine affects you. This medication may increase potassium levels in your blood, so avoid potassium-rich foods or supplements unless advised otherwise. Your doctor may schedule regular tests to monitor your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels during treatment.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice prior to use. Also, make sure to disclose any other medications you are taking, especially those for blood pressure or heart-related conditions.

Uses

• Managing high blood pressure (hypertension)

• Treatment of angina (heart-related chest pain)

Benefits
Supermet-AM Tablet PR contains two medications that lower blood pressure through different mechanisms.

Proper control of blood pressure lowers the risk of serious complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.

For this medication to be effective, it must be taken regularly as prescribed. It does not provide immediate relief but helps maintain long-term heart and blood vessel health. Combining treatment with healthy lifestyle changes enhances its benefits.
