About CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET

CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET belongs to the class of combination medication called 'anti-hypertensive drugs,' primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessels' walls. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and kidney failure.

CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET contains Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Nifedipine (calcium channel blocker). Atenolol works by reducing the heart rate and makes the heart pump blood efficiently throughout the body. Nifedipine works by relaxing the blood vessels; this lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective and also for the best results.

Take CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience blurred vision, sweating, tiredness, dehydration, constipation, dizziness, headache, nausea, cold hands or feet, and muscle cramps. Most of these side effects of CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not stop taking CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver, heart diseases, diabetes, gout, and asthma. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or have any allergic reactions to CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET. Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling. Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you're taking CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET. It can make side effects worse.  If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET can be prescribed accordingly.

Medicinal Benefits

CARDULES PLUS 10MG TABLET treats hypertension (high blood pressure), consisting of Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Nifedipine (calcium channel blocker). Atenolol works by blocking the release of stress hormones (like adrenaline or non-adrenaline), thereby relieving angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias).  Atenolol also protects the heart during the treatment of a heart attack.  Nifedipine works by relaxing the blood vessels; this lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective and also for the best results.
