Frequently asked questions
What should I avoid while taking Cresar H Tablet?
To ensure safe use, avoid taking potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless advised by your doctor. Also, limit alcohol consumption as it can further lower blood pressure and cause side effects. Stay hydrated by drinking enough fluids during exercise and in hot weather. The medicine may cause dizziness, so avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks that require concentration until you're familiar with the medication's effects. If you feel dizzy, lie down to prevent fainting, then sit for a few moments before standing.
What happens if I take too much of Cresar H Tablet?
In case of accidental overdose, symptoms may include low blood pressure, dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, vomiting, and rapid heartbeat. In some instances, slow heartbeat or reduced kidney function, including kidney failure, have been reported. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately for medical attention.
Can I come off Cresar H Tablet when my blood pressure is under control or normal?
Remember that Cresar H Tablet helps manage hypertension but doesn't cure it. Continue taking the medication even if your blood pressure is controlled, as stopping may cause it to rise again. Generally, blood pressure-lowering medications are prescribed for life. By keeping your blood pressure in check, you're reducing your risk of heart attacks and strokes.
What happens if I forget to take Cresar H Tablet?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's close to the time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Avoid taking a double dose to make up for the missed one.
What will happen if I stop taking Cresar H Tablet?
Don't stop taking Cresar H Tablet without consulting your doctor first. Stopping may cause blood pressure to rise, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. If you experience side effects like dizziness, nausea, or diarrhea, discuss them with your doctor.
Is it safe to take Cresar H Tablet for a long time?
Cresar H Tablet is generally safe to take for an extended period when used as directed by your doctor. Follow their advice and instructions carefully.
How long will I be taking Cresar H Tablet for?
You may need to take Cresar H Tablet for the rest of your life, or at least a long-term, to maintain controlled blood pressure. The medication only helps manage hypertension as long as you're taking it.
What if Cresar H Tablet doesn't make me feel any better?
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so this medicine may not make you feel 'better.' However, it's essential to continue taking the medication to reduce your risk of serious health issues.
Can Cresar H Tablet affect my fertility or sex life?
Cresar H Tablet may rarely cause erectile dysfunction. Consult your doctor if you're concerned or notice changes. Untreated hypertension can also lead to erectile dysfunction, so it's essential to manage your blood pressure effectively.
