About Azusa 8 mg Tablet 1

Azusa 8 mg Tablet 1 belongs to a class of anti-hypertensive drugs primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). 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 the blood pressure, the harder the heart pumps blood.

Azusa 8 mg Tablet 1 contains Azelnidipine, a calcium channel blocker that acts by relaxing the blood vessels. This reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.

Azusa 8 mg Tablet 1 is taken dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Azusa 8 mg Tablet 1 may cause common side effects such as headaches, dizziness, swelling, and weakness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and usually resolve after some time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor for advice before taking Azusa 8 mg Tablet 1. 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 Azusa 8 mg Tablet 1 for as long as your doctor has advised. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you take to rule out any side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: The blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. High blood pressure is expressed as systolic/diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats or pumps out blood. Diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries between the heartbeats. Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) by a blood pressure monitor called a sphygmomanometer. Some of the symptoms are headache, dizziness, nosebleeds, altered vision, chest pain, weakness, and shortness of breath. However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
