Overview Frenapril 5 Tablet

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, Angiten 5mg tablets effectively manage hypertension and heart failure, potentially prescribed post-myocardial infarction to mitigate stroke or heart attack risk. This medication, used alone or in conjunction with other treatments, is most effective taken on an empty stomach, consistently at the same time daily. Continuous use is crucial, even with controlled blood pressure or feeling well, as discontinuation can worsen the condition. While generally safe for long-term use, lifestyle adjustments such as regular exercise, weight management, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and a low-sodium diet (as advised) complement its efficacy. Common, usually transient, side effects include hypotension, cough, hyperkalemia, fatigue, asthenia, and vertigo. Persistent or bothersome effects warrant medical consultation. Prior to commencing treatment, patients with hepatic or renal impairment, or those pregnant or lactating, should consult their physician. Regular monitoring of renal function, blood pressure, and serum potassium levels may be conducted during treatment.

FAQs on Frenapril 5 Tablet
