RePACE A Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Dizziness
Headache
Fatigue
Oedema: This refers to swelling in the ankles, feet, or hands.
Nausea
Abdominal pain
Muscle cramps: This can feel like a sudden and sharp pain in your muscles.
Cough

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of RePACE A Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea: You might find it helpful to take RePACE A Tablet with food or milk.
Dizziness: Consider taking this medicine at night if it causes you to feel dizzy during the day.

RePACE A Tablet comprises two active ingredients:

Amlodipine (5 mg): This component is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It inhibits the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. By doing so, it causes vasodilation which is the widening of blood vessels, and reduces peripheral vascular resistance, leading to a reduction in blood pressure.
Losartan (25 mg): Classified as an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), losartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance that causes constriction of blood vessels. By blocking the action of angiotensin II, losartan relaxes blood vessels, decreases blood pressure, and reduces the strain on the heart.

Pregnancy

RePACE A Tablet is contraindicated during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Consult your doctor before taking RePACE A Tablet if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed
