Uses of Apresol Tablet
Benefits of Apresol Tablet
In Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Apresol Tablet is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels which lower blood pressure and allow more blood and oxygen to reach the heart and other organs. If your blood pressure is controlled you are less at risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or kidney problems. It must be taken regularly as prescribed to be effective. You do not usually feel any direct benefit from taking this medicine, but it works in the long term to keep you well.
In Treatment of Heart failure
Heart failure means your heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. The most common symptoms are breathlessness, tiredness, and swelling in your legs, ankles, abdomen and other parts of your body. Apresol Tablet makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body and is therefore an effective treatment for heart failure.
This medicine will help relieve your symptoms, making you feel better and more energetic. You should make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthily and keeping active) to help this medicine be effective. Take it regularly and keep taking it even if you feel better.

FAQs
What is Apresol Tablet and what is it used for?
Apresol Tablet belongs to a class of medicines known as potassium channel openers. It helps in the removal of potassium from the walls of arteries. This results in increased space in the arteries for the blood to flow easily, thereby reducing the workload of the heart to pump the blood. It also improves the blood and oxygen supply to your heart muscle. It is prescribed to patients with stable angina (heart-related chest pain) who cannot take other medicines (beta blockers, calcium channel antagonist) meant for the treatment of angina.
Can I stop taking Apresol Tablet?
No, you should not stop taking Apresol Tablet without consulting your doctor. Suddenly stopping the medication may cause reoccurring of your anginal pain. It would be better to consult your doctor if you are experiencing any side effects.
How long does it take Apresol Tablet to start working?
Apresol Tablet starts working after about an hour of taking the medicine. However, full benefits may be seen only after 4 to 5 days. Consult your doctor if you do not notice any significant improvement in your condition.
For how long do I need to continue Apresol Tablet?
Apresol Tablet is generally prescribed for a long term. You may even need to take it for the rest of your life. You should continue taking your medicine for as long as your doctor tells you. However, if you experience any bothersome side effects, consult your doctor.
What if somebody accidentally takes an excess of Apresol Tablet?
Taking Apresol Tablet in excess may cause low blood pressure and the person may feel weak or dizzy. Also, one may experience irregular or fast heartbeat. In case of an overdose, immediately consult the doctor and seek emergency medical help.
Can I take Apresol Tablet if I am taking aspirin?
You should avoid taking Apresol Tablet and aspirin together. Taking these two medicines together increases the risk of ulcer or bleeding in the mouth, stomach or intestine. Immediately consult your doctor, if you notice blood in your stool or vomit while using Apresol Tablet.
Who should not use Apresol Tablet?
People who are allergic to Apresol Tablet or any of its ingredients should avoid using Apresol Tablet. Also, patients who have heart problems such as cardiogenic shock or left ventricular failure with low filling pressure or cardiac decompensation or have a build-up of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema) should not use Apresol Tablet. Additionally, it is advised to avoid using Apresol Tablet in people taking medicines to treat erectile dysfunction (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil) or medicines to treat pulmonary hypertension (e.g., riociguat). This is because these medicines may interfere with the working of Apresol Tablet and affect your blood pressure. Fluctuations in blood pressure could also be due to low blood volume.
Can Apresol Tablet affect my sex life?
No, Apresol Tablet does not affect your sex life. However, it is not recommended to take medicines used to treat erectile dysfunction (e.g., sildenafil or tadalafil) or premature ejaculation (e.g., vardenafil or dapoxetine) while taking Apresol Tablet. Taking them together can lead to a serious drop in your blood pressure. Consult your doctor if you are not sure.
