Albustix D 32/12.5mg 30 Tab

Description:

Albustix D 32/12.5mg 30 Tab is a prescription antihypertensive medicine combining candesartan cilexetil (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic). It is used for the management of high blood pressure in adults when monotherapy is insufficient. By blocking the effects of angiotensin II and promoting gentle diuresis, Albustix D helps reduce elevated blood pressure, lowering the risk of cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart attack when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan including diet and lifestyle modification.

Indications:

• Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults.
• Patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with candesartan or hydrochlorothiazide alone.
• Long-term blood pressure control to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and related organ damage, as assessed by a healthcare professional.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Candesartan cilexetil – 32 mg per tablet.
• Hydrochlorothiazide – 12.5 mg per tablet.
• Other excipients: Information about inactive ingredients (excipients, colorants, preservatives) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the package leaflet for the full list of excipients.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by your physician. Do not change your dose without medical advice.
• Typical adult dose: 1 tablet once daily, preferably at the same time each day. The exact dose and duration are determined by the doctor based on blood pressure response and individual patient factors.
• Can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes (especially potassium and sodium) is recommended during treatment.
• Continue taking Albustix D even if you feel well, unless your doctor tells you to stop. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps effectively lower elevated blood pressure through dual action: vasodilation (candesartan) and mild diuresis (hydrochlorothiazide).
• Reduces peripheral vascular resistance by blocking angiotensin II at AT1 receptors, leading to improved blood flow.
• Decreases fluid overload and salt retention via thiazide diuretic action, supporting better blood pressure control.
• May help lower the risk of long-term complications of uncontrolled hypertension, such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage, when used as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular risk management plan.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to candesartan, hydrochlorothiazide, sulfonamide-derived drugs, or any component of the product.
• Contraindicated in severe renal impairment, anuria, or severe hepatic impairment, and in patients with refractory hypokalemia, hypercalcemia, or symptomatic hyperuricemia/gout, unless specifically supervised by a specialist.
• Do not use during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Use in the first trimester is not recommended. Angiotensin II receptor blockers can cause injury and even death to the developing fetus.
• Avoid use during breastfeeding unless clearly needed and after medical evaluation.
• Use with caution in patients with renal artery stenosis, heart failure, dehydration, volume depletion, or those on high-dose diuretics, as symptomatic hypotension may occur.
• Concomitant use with potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, or salt substitutes containing potassium may increase the risk of hyperkalemia; close monitoring is required.
• Drug interactions: diuretics and other antihypertensives may increase the risk of hypotension; lithium levels may increase (risk of lithium toxicity); non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) may reduce the antihypertensive effect and affect kidney function.
• May cause dizziness or fatigue. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, nursing, taking other medications, or if you have kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, gout, electrolyte imbalance, or other chronic conditions.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, low blood pressure (hypotension), increased urination, or mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Possible laboratory changes: alterations in potassium, sodium, or other electrolytes; increases in blood urea or creatinine; changes in uric acid or blood glucose, especially in predisposed patients.
• Less common but serious side effects may include severe hypotension, kidney function deterioration, electrolyte disturbances (such as hyperkalemia, hyponatremia), allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing), or visual changes.
• Stop taking the medicine and seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of severe allergic reaction, extreme dizziness or fainting, severe abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
• This is not a complete list of side effects. Always refer to the patient leaflet and consult your doctor or pharmacist if you notice any unusual symptoms.
