Overview Culmi CH 20mg/12.5mg Tablet

HyperTense Duo 20mg/12.5mg tablets combine two active ingredients to manage hypertension through complementary mechanisms. Untreated hypertension significantly increases the risk of serious complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. HyperTense Duo can be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized based on your response and health status. Consistent daily dosing is crucial for optimal effect. Continue treatment as directed by your physician; discontinuation may elevate the risk of cardiovascular events. The formulation includes a diuretic, increasing urine production; therefore, avoid late-evening administration (within four hours of bedtime). Regular use, even when feeling well, is essential as hypertension often lacks noticeable symptoms. Dizziness is a common side effect; others include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and hypotension. Increased urination is an intended effect of the diuretic component and contributes to blood pressure control, not a side effect. While less frequent, other side effects are possible. Consult the patient information leaflet and inform your doctor of any persistent or troublesome side effects; dosage adjustments or alternative therapies may be considered. This medication is unsuitable during pregnancy. Individuals with kidney or liver impairment, cardiac conditions, or diabetes should seek medical advice before commencing treatment. Alcohol consumption may exacerbate hypotension and intensify side effects.
