About Angiblock 10mg Capsule

Angiblock 10mg Capsule belongs to a group of medications called Calcium channel blockers primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension (High blood pressure) is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease. It is also used to reduce strokes and chest pain (angina) caused by the arteries' blockage. In addition to this, Angiblock 10mg Capsule is also used to treat preterm labour.

Angiblock 10mg Capsule works by relaxing the blood vessels; this lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective and also for the best results.

Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Angiblock 10mg Capsule based on your medical condition. You may experience common side effects like low blood pressure, headache, slow heartbeat, dizziness, and rash in some cases. Most of these side effects of Angiblock 10mg Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Let your doctor know if you have any liver or heart problems, are pregnant or breastfeeding.

And also, a healthy diet, and regular exercise is necessary to keep blood pressure under control. Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you're taking nifedipine.
