Overview Figotel CT 40mg/12.5mg Tablet

Cardio-Ten 40mg/12.5mg tablets combine two active ingredients to effectively manage hypertension. This dual action reduces the long-term risk of stroke and heart attack. Cardio-Ten may be taken with or without food, dosage adjusted based on individual response and health status. Consistent daily timing is recommended for optimal efficacy. Continue treatment as directed by your physician; discontinuation may increase cardiovascular risks. The formulation includes a diuretic, leading to increased urination, so avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Regular use is crucial, even during periods of feeling well, as hypertension often presents without symptoms. Dizziness is the most frequent side effect, with others including nausea, diarrhea, headaches, and altered cholesterol levels. Increased urination is an expected effect of the diuretic component and contributes to blood pressure control, not a side effect. While rarer side effects are possible, consult the accompanying patient information leaflet and your doctor about any persistent or bothersome symptoms. Dosage adjustments or alternative treatments may be considered. This medication is not suitable for pregnant individuals and requires consultation with your physician if you have kidney or liver disease, heart problems, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption may exacerbate blood pressure lowering effects and increase the likelihood of side effects.
