Overview Valembic H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet

Combiflex H, a 160mg/12.5mg tablet, combines two medications to manage hypertension through different mechanisms. Untreated high blood pressure significantly raises the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. Combiflex H can be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized and should be taken consistently at the same time daily, as directed by your physician. Continue treatment until advised otherwise. The diuretic component increases urination; therefore, avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Consistent use is crucial for optimal benefit, even during symptom-free periods, as hypertension often lacks noticeable symptoms. Discontinuing treatment increases stroke and heart attack risk. Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and reduced blood pressure; frequent urination is an expected effect of the hydrochlorothiazide component, aiding blood pressure control. While less frequent, other side effects are possible. Hydrochlorothiazide may rarely elevate intraocular pressure, potentially causing permanent eye damage if untreated; consult your doctor immediately if this occurs. Always review the accompanying patient information leaflet; report bothersome or persistent side effects to your physician for potential dosage adjustments or alternative treatments. Avoid potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless specifically directed by your doctor. This medication is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor before use if you have kidney or liver disease, heart problems, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption may further lower blood pressure and intensify side effects.
