FAQ's on P 20mg Tablet

Who should not take P?

You should not take P if you have or ever had cirrhosis, severe liver or kidney disease, an electrolyte imbalance, adrenal gland failure, or an allergy to P or sulfa drugs. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or are breastfeeding to avoid any harmful effect on your baby.

I feel better now, can I stop using P?

No, you should not stop using P suddenly without talking to your doctor. This is because if you stop the medication before completing the treatment, your symptoms may return or even worsen. Use P in the dose and duration advised by your doctor to get maximum benefit of P.

What if I forget to take a dose of P?

If you forget a dose of P, take it as soon as you remember. 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 does P do?

P reduces the pressure inside the eyes, known as intraocular pressure. This helps to reduce the risk of damage to the optic nerve responsible for normal vision. If the pressure in the eye is not controlled, it can gradually lead to blindness. P effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.

Is P effective?

P is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using P too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
