About Azusa 16 mg Tablet

Azusa 16 mg Tablet 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 16 mg Tablet 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 16 mg Tablet is taken dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Azusa 16 mg Tablet 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.
