FAQ's on Fimanta 120 Tablet

Which class does Fimanta belong to?

Fimanta belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRAs). Angiotensin II is a substance which occurs naturally in the body. It tightens the blood vessels, which in turn increases the blood pressure. Fimanta blocks this effect so that the blood vessels relax, which helps lower your blood pressure.

How should I take Fimanta?

You should take Fimanta exactly as directed by your doctor. It is for oral use and is usually taken once a day. You should take it with plenty of water, with or without food. It is recommended that you take this medicine at the same time every day.

Who should not take Fimanta?

You should not take Fimanta if you are allergic to it or if you are pregnant. Avoid its use if you have diabetes or impaired kidney function and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine containing aliskiren.

Can I stop Fimanta on my own?

No, do not stop taking Fimanta without speaking to your doctor, even if you are feeling well or your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping it suddenly may increase your blood pressure which may increase your risk of stroke.

What is the most important information I should know about Fimanta?

It is important for you to know that this medicine can cause harm or death to your unborn baby. Therefore, if you are planning a pregnancy or have become pregnant, consult your doctor right away. Your doctor may switch you to a different medicine to treat your high blood pressure.

What if I forget to take a dose of Fimanta?

If you have missed a dose of Fimanta, take it as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take it in the regular schedule instead of taking the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

What other lifestyle changes should I make while taking Fimanta?

Lifestyle changes play a major role in keeping you healthy if you are taking Fimanta. 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 Fimanta and to keep yourself healthy.

How long does Fimanta take to start working?

Fimanta may take about 2 weeks to show a visible reduction in blood pressure. Full benefits of Fimanta may take a little longer, about 4 weeks.

What are the symptoms of overdose of Fimanta?

Taking more than the recommended dose of Fimanta may decrease your blood pressure due to which you may feel dizzy or may even faint. Consult your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical aid in a nearby hospital.

Is Fimanta better than telmisartan?

Both Fimanta and telmisartan are blood pressure-lowering medicines. Fimanta is a relatively new medicine. It has been found to be as effective as telmisartan in lowering blood pressure. It can be safely used in patients as it has fewer side effects.
