Nexovas 5 15 tab

Nexovas 5 from Macleods contains cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker used to manage high blood pressure. It belongs to the dihydropyridine family and is taken as a long-term treatment to keep blood pressure in a safer range.

• Lowering high blood pressure
• Helping prevent stroke and heart strain linked to hypertension

Cilnidipine eases the tension in the smooth muscle of your blood vessels so they widen, which lets blood flow with less resistance. It also dampens certain nerve signals that push the heart and vessels to work harder.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually with water at the same time each day. Try not to skip doses, since blood pressure control depends on a steady level of the medicine in your body.

• Ankle or foot swelling
• Headache or flushing
• Mild dizziness, especially on standing up
• Slow or irregular heartbeat in some people

Share your full medical history, especially any liver disease, heart failure, or very low blood pressure. Stand up slowly in the first few weeks, and let your doctor know if you become pregnant or plan to.

Store below 25 degrees Celsius in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the strip in its carton and out of reach of children.
