About Nilol Tablet

Nilol Tablet belongs to the class of combination medication called 'anti-hypertensive drugs,' primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessels' walls. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and kidney failure.

Nilol Tablet contains Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Nifedipine (calcium channel blocker). Atenolol works by reducing the heart rate and makes the heart pump blood efficiently throughout the body. Nifedipine 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.

Take Nilol Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Nilol Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience blurred vision, sweating, tiredness, dehydration, constipation, dizziness, headache, nausea, cold hands or feet, and muscle cramps. Most of these side effects of Nilol Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not stop taking Nilol Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver, heart diseases, diabetes, gout, and asthma. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or have any allergic reactions to Nilol Tablet . Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling. Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you're taking Nilol Tablet . It can make side effects worse.  If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Nilol Tablet can be prescribed accordingly.

Uses of Nilol Tablet

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Directions for Use

Take Nilol Tablet with or without food or as directed by your physician. Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it.

Medicinal Benefits

Nilol Tablet treats hypertension (high blood pressure), consisting of Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Nifedipine (calcium channel blocker). Atenolol works by blocking the release of stress hormones (like adrenaline or non-adrenaline), thereby relieving angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias).  Atenolol also protects the heart during the treatment of a heart attack.  Nifedipine 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. Thus, Nilol Tablet reduces raised blood pressure by minimizing fluid overload (oedema) and reducing the heart's blood-pumping activity.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight

It is essential to let your doctor know if you are a breastfeeding mother before using Nilol Tablet since Indapamide may pass into the breast milk. Please ask your doctor if you plan to conceive or are pregnant before using Nilol Tablet .

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower, and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg, and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nose bleed, vomiting, and chest pain.
