Co-Copalia 10/160/25Mg

Co-Copalia 10/160/25 mg is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains three active ingredients: Hydrochlorothiazide, Amlodipine, and Valsartan. Each of these components works in a different way to help lower blood pressure, providing a synergistic effect.

1. Hydrochlorothiazide: This is a diuretic, often referred to as a “water pill.” It helps the kidneys remove excess water and salt from the body, which can help decrease fluid buildup and lower blood pressure.
2. Amlodipine: Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the pressure within the vessels.
3. Valsartan: Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II, which narrows blood vessels and causes the release of another hormone that retains salt and water. By blocking this process, Valsartan helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.

Dosage and Administration:

The dosage of Co-Copalia 10/160/25 mg will be determined by your doctor based on your individual health condition and response to treatment. It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions and take the medication exactly as prescribed. Typically, the medication is taken once a day, preferably at the same time each day, with or without food.

Usage Information:

1. Swallow the Tablet: Take the tablet with a glass of water. Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet, as it is designed to release the medication slowly.
2. Consistency: Try to take Co-Copalia at the same time every day. This helps maintain a consistent level of the medication in your body.
3. Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
4. Overdose: If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms may include dizziness, rapid or irregular heartbeat, and severe drowsiness.
5. Duration: Continue taking Co-Copalia as long as your doctor recommends, even if you start feeling better. Hypertension often has no noticeable symptoms, so it’s important to keep your blood pressure under control.

Precautions and Considerations:

• Inform your doctor about any allergies or other medical conditions you have before starting Co-Copalia.
• Be cautious if you have kidney or liver problems, heart conditions, or a history of angioedema.
• Co-Copalia may cause dizziness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
• Inform your doctor about any other medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
• Limit alcohol consumption while taking Co-Copalia, as it can enhance dizziness and lower blood pressure.
• Avoid salt substitutes containing potassium unless advised by your doctor, as Co-Copalia already contains a diuretic that affects potassium levels.
