Ramistar-H
5 Tablet is taken with or without food, preferably in the morning to
avoid frequent urination at night. Keep taking it for as long as advised
by your doctor. Even if you feel well, do not stop this medicine on
your own because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. If you stop
taking it, your condition may get worse. Keeping active with regular
exercise, reducing your weight and eating a healthy diet will also help
control your blood pressure. Follow your doctor’s advice while taking
this medicine.
Nausea, indigestion, taste change, and diarrhea
are some common side effects of this medicine. Consult your doctor If
any of these bother you, or get worse, or do not go away. Let your
doctor know about cough or throat irritation that does not go away.
Drink plenty of fluids while taking medicine to overcome muscle
weakness, dry mouth, and extreme thirst. Dizziness may occur due to low
blood pressure but this gets better with time.
Before taking it,
let your doctor know if you have any liver or kidney problems. Pregnant
or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor for advice
before taking this medicine. You also need to tell your doctor what
other medicines you are taking especially those used to treat high blood
pressure or heart conditions. You should have your blood pressure,
kidney function and the levels of salts such as potassium checked
regularly to make sure that this medicine is working properly.
