Benefits of Vasart H Tablet
In Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines namely Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. It is generally used when one medicine alone is not controlling your blood pressure effectively. Valsartan works by relaxing and widening your blood vessels so your blood can flow more easily. This will lower your blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is known as a diuretic (water pill) which increases urine output thereby lowering blood pressure. If your blood pressure is controlled you are less at risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or kidney problems. The medicine 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.

Vasart H Tablet
How long does it take for Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet to start working?
A substantial decrease in blood pressure can be experienced within 2 weeks of starting Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet. However, the medicine may take up to 4 weeks to show its complete effects. Talk to your doctor in case you have any concerns regarding Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet, but do not stop taking it without consulting the doctor.
Which medicine is considered safe for treating high blood pressure?
There are many blood pressure-lowering medicines which can be considered safe. The doctor will advise the exact use of these medicines, keeping various factors such as age, gender, other coexisting diseases, etc. into consideration. Also, the effect of the medicine and response of the patient can vary from person to person. For instance, a person below 55 years of age having no other co-existing disease may be prescribed angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARAs) (e.g., Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet, losartan, olmesartan) or Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors (e.g., ramipril, captopril or enalapril) by the doctor.
Is Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet bad for kidneys?
Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet does not generally affect the working of a proper functioning kidney. However, there is limited data to support the safety of patients who have existing severe kidney impairment (creatinine clearance <10 ml/min) and are on dialysis. Hence, Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet should be used cautiously in such patients. It should only be used when advised by the doctor.
Who should not be given Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet?
Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet should not be given to patients who are allergic to it, have severe liver disease, have diabetes or impaired kidney function. Also, its use should be restricted if you are being treated with blood pressure lowering medicine containing Aliskiren. In addition to that, Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet should not be used if you are pregnant or trying to conceive. If you are not sure or have any queries, consult your doctor.
Does Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet cause weight gain?
No, Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet does not cause weight gain as a side effect. However, if your kidney function deteriorates, your body may swell due to the accumulation of water (fluid retention), resulting in weight gain. Inform your doctor if you experience any unexplained weight gain or swelling in your feet, ankles or hands.
How long do I need to take Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet?
Continue taking Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed. Do not stop taking it even if you start feeling better. You may even have to take it lifelong, since Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet does not cure high blood pressure or heart failure but controls them.
What is the most important information I should know about Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet?
Taking Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet during the last months of pregnancy can cause serious harm or even endanger the unborn baby. Therefore, do not take Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet if you are pregnant. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. If you become pregnant while taking Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet, stop taking Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet and call your doctor immediately.
Can I switch in between the brands of Vasart H 160mg/12.5mg Tablet, since currently the brand I am using is not available?
