About Creer-5 Tablet 10's

Creer-5 Tablet 10's belongs to the class of blood pressure-lowering medications called 'calcium channel blockers' primarily used to treat hypertension. Hypertension is a medical condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the blood vessels (arteries). If hypertension is left, untreated can lead to heart disease and stroke attack. 

Creer-5 Tablet 10's contains 'Clinidipine' that helps dilates (widens) blood vessels, thereby increasing the heart's blood flow. The phenomena of vasodilation (widening) of the heart’s blood vessels reduce the heart's workload and muscles. Thus, Creer-5 Tablet 10's improves the blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart tissue, thereby lowering the raised blood pressure on the blood vessel's arteries. 

Take Creer-5 Tablet 10's as prescribed by the doctor. In some cases, Creer-5 Tablet 10's can cause side effects like sleepiness, oedema (fluid retention), ankle swelling, fatigue, headache, flushing (feeling warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), dizziness, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), stomach upset and abdominal pain.

Before taking Creer-5 Tablet 10's, let your doctor know if you have any heart, kidney or liver problems, diabetes, hypotension (low blood pressure), electrolyte imbalance and dehydration. Avoid potassium supplements with Creer-5 Tablet 10's as it may lead to high potassium levels in the blood. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking Creer-5 Tablet 10's.
