Ciplar LA Tablet is prescribed to reduce anxiety and alleviate tremors. It also serves as a preventive treatment for migraines, angina (heart-related chest pain), and stomach bleeding caused by portal hypertension (high blood pressure in the liver).
This medication may additionally be used to manage hypertension and certain cardiac arrhythmias. The prescribed dosage varies based on your condition and individual response to treatment. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. For optimal absorption, take this medication on an empty stomach at consistent times daily. Continue treatment even when feeling well, as the therapeutic benefits persist. Abrupt discontinuation may lead to worsening of symptoms.
Common adverse effects include fatigue, weakness, Raynaud’s phenomenon (cold extremities), bradycardia (slow heart rate), digital numbness, and dyspnea (shortness of breath). Gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur. Consult your physician if side effects persist or become bothersome. Most reactions are transient and diminish with continued use as your body adapts to the medication.
Contraindications include asthma, severe bradycardia, and significant cardiac conditions like heart failure. Exercise caution and consult your doctor if you have renal or hepatic impairment or COPD. Alcohol consumption may interfere with drug efficacy and should be avoided. Refrain from driving if experiencing dizziness. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before using this medication.
