ESAM LT TABLET is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension is a medical condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries. 

ESAM LT TABLET contains Losartan and S-amlodipine. Losartan lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels. S-amlodipine dilates (widens) blood vessels and increases blood flow. Altogether, it helps lower blood pressure.

In some cases, ESAM LT TABLET may cause side effects like ankle swelling, headache, flushing (feeling warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), dizziness, tiredness, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), and upset stomach. Most of these side effects of ESAM LT TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to ESAM LT TABLET or any other medicines, please inform your doctor. Before taking ESAM LT TABLET, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver problems or severe dehydration. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. It is advised to complete the prescribed course, even if you feel better. Please do not stop taking ESAM LT TABLET on your own, as it may lead to the recurrence of symptoms or worsen the condition.

ESAM LT TABLET is an anti-hypertensive drug that treats high blood pressure (hypertension). ESAM LT TABLET lowers blood pressure by widening and relaxing blood vessels. ESAM LT TABLET consists of two medicines: Losartan and S-amlodipine. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels. Losartan is also used to treat stroke and slow down kidney damage in people with type 2 diabetes. S-amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens) blood vessels and increases blood flow. Altogether, it helps to lower high blood pressure, chest pain (angina) and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease.

Do not consume alcohol with ESAM LT TABLET as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure. Avoid potassium supplements with ESAM LT TABLET as it may lead to high potassium levels in the blood. ESAM LT TABLET used caution with coronary artery diseases, aortic stenosis, cardiogenic shock, and congestive heart failure.

Drug-Food Interaction: Minimize high potassium foods intake and avoid over the counter potassium supplements, grapefruit, or juice.

Drug-Disease Interaction: People with low blood pressure, heart, kidney, or liver problems or severe dehydration, hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in the blood), and diabetes should consult the doctor before taking ESAM LT TABLET.

High blood pressure/Hypertension: Hypertension is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. 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. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is the pressure when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg, and diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg.
