Uses of Imdur Tablet PR

Benefits of Imdur Tablet PR

In Prevention of Angina (heart-related chest pain)

Imdur 30mg Tablet PR reduces your risk of getting heart-related chest pain (angina attack). It does not treat an angina attack that has already begun and should not be used for this purpose. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels in the heart. This makes it easier for blood to flow to the heart, so it gets more oxygen. This medicine thus helps to increase your ability to exercise and go about your daily life more easily and confidently. It should be taken regularly to be effective.

FAQs

Does Imdur 30mg Tablet PR affect heart rate?

Yes, Imdur 30mg Tablet PR may affect the heart rate. Imdur 30mg Tablet PR causes a decrease in blood pressure. This decrease in blood pressure further causes a decrease in the heart rate (bradycardia). In some cases, it may also cause an increase in the heart rate (tachycardia). Consult your doctor in case you do not feel well after taking this medicine or if you notice a change in your heart rate.

What if I forget to take a dose of Imdur 30mg Tablet PR?

You can take the forgotten dose of Imdur 30mg Tablet PR if you remember it within 12 hours. However, if you remember it after 12 hours of the scheduled time, then skip the missed dose and continue with the next dose.

Can I stop taking Imdur 30mg Tablet PR after sometime?

No, do not stop taking this medicine without talking to your doctor. Stopping it suddenly may increase your chances of having an anginal attack. If you have any concerns regarding Imdur 30mg Tablet PR consult your doctor.

What are the symptoms of an overdose of Imdur 30mg Tablet PR?

Taking more than the recommended dose of Imdur 30mg Tablet PR may cause throbbing headache, reddening of the skin, chills along with sweating, nausea, vomiting, and a fast heartbeat. Seek emergency help and consult your doctor immediately if you take more than the recommended dose of this medicine.

Can Imdur 30mg Tablet PR be taken at night?

Depending upon the dose, your doctor may recommend you to take this medicine once or twice daily. When a single dose is recommended, then it is preferred to be taken in the morning. If taking it twice a day, maintain a gap of 7 hours between the two doses. This helps decrease the chances of Imdur 30mg Tablet PR becoming ineffective (tolerance) after some time.

Does Imdur 30mg Tablet PR lower BP?

Yes, Imdur 30mg Tablet PR can cause a fall in blood pressure. This medicine widens the blood vessels and decreases the resistance in them, causing a fall in blood pressure. This fall in blood pressure may in turn decrease the heartbeat which can lead to angina. This medicine should be avoided in people who already have low blood pressure. Discuss with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Can I take sildenafil while taking Imdur 30mg Tablet PR?

No, you should not take sildenafil along with Imdur 30mg Tablet PR. Both these medicines lower blood pressure and belong to the same class. Taking these two medicines together may cause a severe decrease in blood pressure, fainting, and even a heart attack. Along with this, also avoid taking other medicines belonging to similar classes such as vardenafil and tadalafil.
