Cortel A 40mg/5mg Tablet 15s

Question 1

Is it safe to take Cortel-A for a long time?

Answer

Cortel-A is generally safe to take for a long time. Remember to follow your doctors advice/instructions.

Question 2

What will happen if I stop taking Cortel-A?

Answer

You should not stop taking Cortel-A without talking to your doctor first. If you do stop taking it, your blood pressure may rise and you may put yourself at greater risk of having a heart attack or a stroke. If you experience side effects, such as dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, etc., talk to your doctor.

Question 3

What if Cortel-A doesn’t make me feel any better?

Answer

High blood pressure does not usually have any symptoms, so you may not feel ill if there is any change in the blood pressure. Therefore, this medicine may not make you feel “better”. This does not mean that you can stop the medicine as they are working in the background to reduce your risk of serious illness.

Question 4

How long will I be taking Cortel-A for?

Answer

You may have to take Cortel-A for a long-term or even lifelong. The medicine only keeps your blood pressure under control for as long as you are taking it. Therefore, it is advised to continue your medication and follow your doctors advice.

Question 5

Can I come off Cortel-A when my blood pressure is under control or normal?

Answer

Even if your blood pressure is successfully lowered by this medicine, it is advised to continue your medication. If you stop taking Cortel-A, your blood pressure could rise back up again. Blood pressure lowering medicines only help to control your condition but do not cure it. You will probably need to take them for the rest of your life. Remember, by keeping your blood pressure controlled you are reducing your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Question 6

Can Cortel-A affect my fertility or sex life?

Answer

Cortel-A may very rarely lead to erectile dysfunction (inability to gain or maintain an erection). Consult your doctor if you are worried or notice some changes. However, untreated hypertension (high blood pressure) itself can lead to erectile dysfunction, therefore it is important that you take your medicine regularly and keep track of your blood pressure.

Question 7

What happens if I take too much of Cortel-A?

Answer

If you accidentally take too much of Cortel-A, you may experience symptoms such as low blood pressure, dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, vomiting and rapid heartbeat. However, in some cases slow heartbeat, reduced kidney function including kidney failure (e.g., reduced urine output) have also been reported. If you experience any of such symptoms contact your doctor immediately and seek medical help.

Question 8

What happens if I forget to take Cortel-A?

Answer

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed one and take the next scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed. If you often forget doses, it may help to set an alarm to remind you. If not sure then you can consult your doctor for other ways to help you remember.

Question 9

What other lifestyle changes should I make while taking Cortel-A?

Answer

Lifestyle changes play a major role in keeping you healthy if you are taking Cortel-A. Avoid taking excess salt in your diet and find ways to reduce or manage stress in your life. Practice yoga or meditation or take up a hobby. Ensure that you have a sound sleep every night as this also helps to reduce stress levels and helps to keep your blood pressure normal. Stop smoking and alcohol consumption as this helps in lowering your blood pressure and preventing heart problems. Exercise regularly and take a balanced diet that includes whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and fat-free products. Consult your doctor if you need any further guidance to get the maximum benefit of Cortel-A and to keep yourself healthy.

Question 10

What should I avoid while taking Cortel-A?

Answer

You should avoid potassium supplements or salt substitutes, unless advised by your doctor. Also, avoid alcohol consumption as doing so can further lower your blood pressure and may cause some side effects. In addition to that, avoid getting dehydrated, drink enough fluids during exercise and in hot weather. The medicine may make you dizzy so avoid driving, using machinery or doing anything that needs concentration unless you know how this medicine affects you. If you feel dizzy, lie down so you do not faint. Then sit for a few moments before standing to prevent feeling dizzy again.
