Co-Copalia 5/160/25Mg

Co-Copalia 5/160/25 mg is a medication that combines three active ingredients: Hydrochlorothiazide, Amlodipine, and Valsartan. This combination is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and is typically prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to control blood pressure.

1. Hydrochlorothiazide:

• Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, commonly known as a “water pill.” It works by increasing the amount of urine produced by the kidneys, which helps to remove excess salt and water from the body. This reduction in fluid volume helps lower blood pressure.

2. Amlodipine:

• Amlodipine belongs to a class of medications known as calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing the workload on the heart. This results in lower blood pressure.

3. Valsartan:

• Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II, which causes blood vessels to narrow. By blocking this hormone, Valsartan helps relax and widen blood vessels, leading to decreased blood pressure.

Dosage and Usage:

• Co-Copalia 5/160/25 mg tablets contain 5 mg of Amlodipine, 160 mg of Valsartan, and 25 mg of Hydrochlorothiazide.
• The dosage and usage information may vary based on individual factors, including the severity of your condition, your response to the medication, and any other underlying health conditions.
• It is essential to take Co-Copalia exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• The tablets are typically taken orally with a glass of water, with or without food.
• Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for you based on your medical history and current health status.
• Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better. Stopping suddenly could cause your blood pressure to rise again.

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to prevent potential interactions.
• Co-Copalia may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up quickly. Be cautious while driving or performing tasks that require alertness until you know how this medication affects you.
• Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of kidney problems, liver disease, heart conditions, or diabetes.
• If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, rapid weight gain, or chest pain, seek medical attention immediately.
