Lotensyl

Lotensyl Tablet is prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). As a calcium channel blocker medication, it effectively lowers blood pressure and decreases cardiac workload, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

This medication may be administered as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs. Dosage is determined by your blood pressure readings and medical condition. While it can be taken at any time during the day, maintaining a consistent daily schedule is recommended. For optimal absorption, take the tablet on an empty stomach at least 15 minutes before meals. Continue treatment as prescribed by your physician, even if you feel well, as hypertension is often asymptomatic. Discontinuing medication without medical supervision may worsen your condition.

Complementary lifestyle modifications including regular physical activity, weight management, and a balanced diet can enhance blood pressure control. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding this medication.

Although generally well-tolerated, potential side effects may include fatigue, peripheral edema, dizziness, facial flushing, and headaches. Consult your doctor if these symptoms persist or cause concern.

Prior to initiating treatment, disclose any hepatic, renal, or cardiac impairment. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation due to potential fetal harm. Inform your physician about all concurrent medications, particularly other cardiovascular drugs, to ensure therapeutic safety. Alcohol consumption should be limited as it may potentiate hypotensive effects and dizziness. Regular blood pressure monitoring is essential to assess treatment efficacy.
