Your doctor may advise you to stop taking Lebexol for 24 hours before surgery. This is because Lebexol can lower your blood pressure too much when its use is combined with some anesthetics. So, tell your doctor that youre taking Lebexol if youre going to be put to sleep using a general anaesthetic or are scheduled to have any kind of major operation.

Do not stop taking Lebexol without talking to your doctor. Stopping Lebexol suddenly may cause serious heart problems such as angina (chest pain) or even a heart attack. If you need to stop taking Lebexol, your doctor will reduce the dose slowly over 1 or 2 weeks.

Diabetic patients while using Lebexol should regularly check the blood sugar levels. Lebexol may make it difficult to recognize the warning signs of low blood sugar such as shaking and a racing heartbeat. Consult your doctor if the blood sugar levels are reduced while taking Lebexol.

Yes, itchy skin, a rash or tingly scalp are common side effects of Lebexol. Speak to your doctor if the itchiness or rash gets worse or lasts for more than a week.

Taking more than the recommended dose of Lebexol can lead to a drop in blood pressure and slowing of the heart rate, difficulty breathing or a drop in blood sugar, which can cause sweating or confusion. If you take too many tablets, tell your doctor immediately or contact the hospital emergency department nearest to you.

It is important to appropriately treat high blood pressure in pregnancy. Studies have shown that poorly controlled high blood pressure in pregnancy can lead to an increased risk of certain birth defects, stillbirth, reduced growth of the baby within the womb, and premature birth. For some women with high blood pressure, treatment with Lebexol in pregnancy might be considered to be the best option. Your doctor is the best person to help you decide what is right for you and your baby.

Lebexol slows down your heart rate and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. Your doctor may regularly check your blood pressure and pulse (heart rate) during therapy to determine your response to the medicine.

If you are taking Lebexol for high blood pressure, it may lower your BP within 1-3 hours of taking it. You may not feel any different, but this does not mean that the medicine is not working, and it is important to keep taking it. On the other hand, if you are taking it for angina, it will probably take a few days for the medicine to reduce the pain. You may still have chest pain during this time or it may get worse.

Lebexol is generally considered a safe medicine if it is taken as directed by the doctor. The side effects that result with use of Lebexol occur during the first few weeks of treatment and disappear with time.
