Overview Caven 2.5mg Tablet

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor Caven 2.5mg tablets effectively manage hypertension and heart failure, often prescribed post-myocardial infarction to reduce subsequent cardiovascular events. This medication, suitable for standalone or combination therapy, should be administered on an empty stomach, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Continued use is crucial, even with symptom improvement or controlled blood pressure, as discontinuation can worsen the condition. While generally well-tolerated and safe for long-term use, lifestyle modifications such as exercise, weight loss, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and a reduced-sodium diet, as directed by your physician, are beneficial. Common, usually transient, side effects may include hypotension, cough, hyperkalemia, lethargy, asthenia, and vertigo. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing hepatic or renal impairment, and pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical counsel. Routine monitoring of renal function, blood pressure, and serum potassium levels may be undertaken during therapy.
