Asomex-AT 5 Tablet
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Asomex-AT 5 Tablet is a combination medicine used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by relaxing the blood vessels and making the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body.
You can take Asomex-AT 5 Tablet at any time of day, with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day. Continue taking this medication for as long as your doctor recommends. Even if you feel fine, do not stop on your own, as high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms. Stopping suddenly may worsen your condition. Staying active with regular exercise, reducing your weight, and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure.
Asomex-AT 5 Tablet may cause side effects like nausea, flushing, edema, slow heart rate, palpitations, and tiredness. It may also cause dizziness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. You may be asked for regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar level, and electrolyte level while on the treatment.
Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney issues. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, seek medical advice before use. Additionally, let your doctor know about any other medications you are taking, particularly those for high blood pressure or heart conditions.
