₦8,500.00
Pilorem 40/5 is a combination medication that includes Telmisartan (40mg) and Amlodipine (5mg). This formulation is designed to effectively manage hypertension (high blood pressure) by utilizing the complementary actions of an angiotensin II receptor blocker and a calcium channel blocker.
Indications:
- Treatment of essential hypertension in adults.
- May be used in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with monotherapy.
Dosage: The typical dosage is one tablet taken once daily, as directed by a healthcare provider. Dosage adjustments may be made based on individual response and clinical considerations.
Mechanism of Action:
- Telmisartan: An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. This results in lower blood pressure and improved blood flow.
- Amlodipine: A calcium channel blocker that works by inhibiting calcium entry into smooth muscle cells, leading to relaxation of blood vessels and further reduction in blood pressure.
This combination allows for enhanced efficacy in blood pressure control.
Benefits:
- Provides a dual-action approach to effectively lower blood pressure.
- Helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with hypertension.
- Convenient once-daily dosing simplifies the treatment regimen.
Side Effects: Common side effects may include dizziness, swelling of the ankles or feet, fatigue, and headache. Serious side effects, though rare, may include severe allergic reactions, low blood pressure, and liver function abnormalities. Patients should discuss any concerning symptoms with their healthcare provider.
Precautions:
- Use with caution in patients with renal impairment, heart failure, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Regular monitoring of blood pressure and renal function is advised during treatment.
