About EFONTA 20MG TABLET
EFONTA 20MG TABLET is used for the treatment of High blood pressure (hypertension), hypertension caused by kidney disease, and angina (chest pain). Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes high. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump.
EFONTA 20MG TABLET contains the active substance efonidipine. In patients with high blood pressure, it works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood passes through them more easily. In patients with angina, it prevents chest pain by improving the blood supply to the heart muscle, which then receives more oxygen.
Take EFONTA 20MG TABLET with or without food as your doctor prescribes with a full glass of water. EFONTA 20MG TABLET may be specified alone or in combination with other blood pressure-lowering medicines, depending upon your blood pressure levels. Inform your doctor if you are taking any other antihypertensive medicine. You may have common side effects like headache, nausea, stomach discomfort, abdominal pain, hot flashes, palpitations, and facial flushing that usually resolve after some time. You must closely monitor your blood pressure if you have ever had a stroke or heart attack or are currently taking other blood pressure-lowering pills. It is advised to continue taking this drug and not stop taking it suddenly without consulting your doctor.
Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to EFONTA 20MG TABLET or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult a doctor before taking EFONTA 20MG TABLET . Avoid drinking alcohol with EFONTA 20MG TABLET as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure and cause adverse effects such as dizziness, fainting, light-headedness, or headache. Drive only if you are alert, as EFONTA 20MG TABLET may cause dizziness or tiredness. Inform your doctor if you have had liver disease, kidney disease, heart failure, and a history of a heart attack.
