Product introduction

Valembic 160 AM 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’s 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 sleepiness and 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 will 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.

Frequently asked questions

A substantial decrease in blood pressure can be experienced within 2 weeks of starting Valembic 160 AM Tablet. The medicine may take up to 4 weeks to show its complete effects. Talk to your doctor in case you have any concerns regarding Valembic 160 AM Tablet, but do not stop taking it without consulting the doctor.
There are many blood pressure-lowering medicines which can be considered safe. The doctor will advise the exact use of these medicines, keeping various factors such as age, gender, other coexisting diseases, etc. into consideration. Also, the effect of the medicine and response of the patient can vary from person to person. For instance, a person below 55 years of age having no other co-existing disease may be prescribed angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARAs) (e.g., Valembic 160 AM Tablet, losartan, olmesartan) or Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors (e.g., ramipril, captopril or enalapril) by the doctor.
Valembic 160 AM Tablet does not generally affect the working of a proper functioning kidney. However, there is limited data to support the safety of patients who have existing severe kidney impairment (creatinine clearance <10 ml/min) and are on dialysis. Hence, Valembic 160 AM Tablet should be used cautiously in such patients. It should only be used when advised by the doctor.
Valembic 160 AM Tablet should not be given to patients who are allergic to it, have severe liver disease, have diabetes, or impaired kidney function. Also, its use should be restricted if you are being treated with blood pressure lowering medicine containing Aliskiren. In addition to that, Valembic 160 AM Tablet should not be used if you are pregnant or trying to conceive. If you are not sure or have any queries, consult your doctor.
No, Valembic 160 AM Tablet does not cause weight gain as a side effect. However, if your kidney function deteriorates, your body may swell due to accumulation of water (fluid retention), resulting in weight gain. Inform your doctor if you experience any unexplained weight gain or swelling in your feet, ankles or hands.
Continue taking Valembic 160 AM Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed. Do not stop taking it even if you start feeling better. You may even have to take it lifelong, since Valembic 160 AM Tablet does not cure high blood pressure or heart failure but controls them.
Taking Valembic 160 AM Tablet during the last months of pregnancy can cause serious harm or even endanger the unborn baby. Therefore, do not take Valembic 160 AM Tablet if you are pregnant. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. If you become pregnant while taking Valembic 160 AM Tablet, stop taking Valembic 160 AM Tablet and call your doctor immediately.
No, do not switch to a different Valembic 160 AM Tablet product unless your doctor says that you should. Since you have to take it daily, keep a stock of it. Each Valembic 160 AM Tablet product releases the medication differently in your body and cannot be used interchangeably. Therefore, if you have any concerns regarding Valembic 160 AM Tablet, consult your doctor.
