Venpres-40 A Tablet is primarily used to manage high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. This is a combination medicine that belongs to two distinct classes of medications: angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and statins.

Beyond its main use, this medicine helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. It's particularly useful for individuals with a high risk of such events, including those with a history of heart disease, stroke, or diabetes.

You should take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Make sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions and any other medications you're currently taking. If you notice any side effects, notify your doctor immediately. It is essential to continue taking the medicine for the prescribed duration to get the maximum benefits.

Venpres-40 A Tablet is used for managing the following conditions:

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension
Elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood
Preventing cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes
Patients at high risk of heart disease due to a history of stroke or diabetes.

Directions for Use of Venpres 40 A Tablet 10

Ensure you use Venpres-40 A Tablet correctly with these steps:

The tablet is taken orally, and swallowed whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush or chew the tablet while consuming it.
Remember, it's essential not to stop taking this medicine before consulting your doctor.

Venpres-40 A Tablet is taken orally.

Venpres-40 A Tablet might cause the following side effects:

Headache
Dizziness
Fatigue
Nausea
Diarrhoea
Muscle pain or weakness

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Venpres-40 A Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here's how you can manage a couple of these side effects:

Fatigue: Consider taking this medicine at night if it causes you to feel tired during the day.
Diarrhoea: Try taking Venpres-40 A Tablet with food to lessen this effect.

Venpres-40 A Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Telmisartan (40 mg): This is an ARB that works by inhibiting the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes your blood vessels to narrow. By preventing this narrowing, telmisartan allows your blood vessels to relax and widen, leading to improved blood flow and reduced blood pressure.
Atorvastatin (10 mg): This ingredient works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in your body. This enzyme is responsible for producing cholesterol in your liver. By blocking this enzyme, atorvastatin effectively lowers the levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein), also known as "bad" cholesterol, in your blood.

Pregnancy

Venpres-40 A Tablet is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Venpres-40 A Tablet is contraindicated for breastfeeding/lactating women. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

While alcohol doesn't directly interact with Venpres-40 A Tablet, it can increase blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which might reduce the effectiveness of the medicine. Hence, moderation in alcohol consumption is advised.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Venpres-40 A Tablet in case of mild to moderate liver impairment. It is not recommended for severe liver diseases. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting Venpres-40 A Tablet. This medicine may affect liver function.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Venpres-40 A Tablet if you have a history of any kidney problems. It is a good idea to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Venpres-40 A Tablet may cause dizziness. Therefore, it's advisable to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.

Allergy

If you are allergic to telmisartan, atorvastatin or any other ingredients in Venpres-40 A Tablet, do not take this medicine. Always inform your doctor about your allergies.

Children

Caution is advised while giving Venpres-40 A Tablet to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Venpres-40 A Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 years of age. Older patients might also have liver and kidney issues and might be on other medication. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Blood Pressure Medications: Medicines like amlodipine or lisinopril may interact with Venpres-40 A Tablet, potentially affecting the blood pressure-lowering effects of telmisartan.
Cholesterol-Lowering Medications: If taken along with other statins like simvastatin or rosuvastatin, it may increase the risk of muscle problems due to atorvastatin.
Antibiotics: Certain antibiotics such as erythromycin or clarithromycin can increase the amount of atorvastatin in your body, leading to increased side effects.
Antifungal Medications: Antifungals like ketoconazole or itraconazole can affect how your body processes atorvastatin, increasing your risk of side effects.

Over Dose

Accidentally taking too much of Venpres-40 A Tablet could result in symptoms such as severe dizziness, fainting and unusual muscle weakness or pain. If you have overdosed, you should seek medical attention. However, avoid panicking and follow your doctor's instructions.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose of Venpres-40 A Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your usual schedule. Don't take an extra tablet to make up for a missed one. Always consult with your doctor if unsure.
