Affotel MLN 25 Tablet ER


Product introduction

You can take Affotel MLN 25 Tablet ER at any time of day, with food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day. Keep taking it for as long as advised by your doctor.

Keeping active with regular exercise, reducing your weight and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure. Follow your doctor’s advice while taking this medicine.

It may cause side effects like nausea, taste change, throat infection, back pain, and ankle swelling. To lower down ankle swelling, raise your legs while sitting. It is also advised to avoid the intake of potassium rich diet or supplements while on treatment. You may be asked for regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar level, and electrolytes level while on the treatment.

Before taking it, let your doctor know if you have any liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor for advice before taking this medicine.
