About Adelphane Tablet

Adelphane Tablet is indicated in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels.

Adelphane Tablet contains Reserpine and Dihydralazine. It works by relaxing and dilating the blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

In some cases, Adelphane Tablet may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Do not take Adelphane Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to avoid unpleasant side effects/interactions.

Uses of Adelphane Tablet

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).

Medicinal Benefits

Adelphane Tablet belongs to the class of rauwolfia alkaloids, centrally acting antiadrenergic agents used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Reserpine and Dihydralazine. Reserpine works by slowing the nervous system's activity, causing the heartbeat to slow and the blood vessels to relax. Dihydralazine relaxes the muscles in the blood vessels to help them dilate (widen). This lowers blood pressure and allows blood to flow more easily. Together, Adelphane Tablet helps treat high blood pressure.

Disease/Condition Glossary

High blood pressure (hypertension): It is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels, leading to hypertension. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when the blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnoea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, there are no signs or symptoms of hypertension.

FAQs

Adelphane Tablet improves blood flow by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. Thereby, Adelphane Tablet helps treat high blood pressure.
High blood pressure increases the workload on the arteries and heart.

To treat your condition effectively, continue taking Adelphane Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it.
