Rasilez-Hct 150mg/12.5mg Tablet 7's

Rasilez-Hct 150mg/12.5mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients who require combination therapy. It is not intended as a first-line treatment but rather to replace individual tablets of Aliskiren and Hydrochlorothiazide for patients already taking these medications at the same dose. Hypertension is a chronic condition in which blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of the arteries (blood vessels).

Rasilez-Hct 150mg/12.5mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Aliskiren (a direct renin inhibitor) and Hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic/water pill). Aliskiren works by inhibiting the action of renin, an enzyme that helps the body produce angiotensin I, which is then converted to angiotensin II (a hormone that tightens and narrows blood vessels, increasing blood pressure). By reducing the production of angiotensin I and II, Aliskiren helps relax and widen blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide works by blocking the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, which leads to increased excretion of these electrolytes along with water. This reduces the overall fluid volume in the blood vessels, which in turn lowers blood pressure. Together, these drugs work effectively to reduce high blood pressure.

Rasilez-Hct 150mg/12.5mg Tablet belongs to a class of medications called 'anti-hypertensives,' primarily used to treat mild to moderate high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients who require combination therapy. It contains two medications: Aliskiren and Hydrochlorothiazide. This medication is not intended to be used as a first-line treatment but rather to replace individual tablets of Aliskiren and Hydrochlorothiazide for patients already taking these medications at the same dose. Aliskiren lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, making blood flow easier. Hydrochlorothiazide lowers blood volume by promoting salt and water excretion through urine, which further helps lower blood pressure. Together, these drugs work effectively to reduce high blood pressure, thereby lowering the risk of heart failure, stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure.

• Chronic stress may also contribute to high blood pressure. Therefore, avoid stress triggers and make time for yourself to relax and engage in activities that you enjoy.
• Try to follow the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which includes foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish, and low-fat dairy.
• Increase your potassium intake from natural sources, which may help lower blood pressure.
• Try to include omega-3 fatty acid-containing foods in your daily diet. You can also use low-fat cooking oils, such as soybean oil, olive oil, canola oil, and coconut oil, which may help lower high blood pressure.
• Quit smoking and avoid alcohol consumption.
