Product introduction
Eritel LN 20mg/40mg Tablet is a medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It lowers the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This protects the kidneys, slows down the progression of kidney damage, and reduces the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Eritel LN 20mg/40mg Tablet may be taken on an empty stomach or along with food. However, it is better to take it regularly at a fixed time each day, as prescribed by your doctor. The dose will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. It is important to keep taking this medicine even if you feel well. By lowering your blood pressure, it is reducing your risk of heart attack or stroke, so do not stop taking it unless your doctor tells you to. You can help this medication work better by making a few changes to your lifestyle, such as keeping active, stopping smoking, and eating a low salt and low-fat diet.
The most common side effects of this medicine include swelling in your ankles or feet (edema), headache, sleepiness, dizziness, tiredness, taste change, and upset stomach. Since it may cause dizziness, do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you. Talk to your doctor if any of the side effects bother you or do not go away.
Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver problems or severe dehydration. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. While using this medicine, your blood pressure will need to be checked often, and your kidney function may also need to be tested.
