About Uniaz CH 8/12.5 Tablet

Uniaz CH 8/12.5 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure and oedema (fluid build-up in the body). It reduces the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular diseases. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a chronic condition where the force of blood against artery walls is excessively high, leading to complications such as heart disease, irregular heartbeat, and oedema. As an antihypertensive drug, Uniaz CH 8/12.5 Tablet plays a crucial role in managing hypertension, a lifelong condition characterized by elevated blood pressure, which can overwork the heart and lead to severe health issues.

The Uniaz CH 8/12.5 Tablet contains Azelnidipine and chlorthalidone. Azelnidipine relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Chlorthalidone, a diuretic, increases urine production to remove excess fluids and treat hypertension and oedema.
