Felogard 5

Uses
Felogard (Felodipine) is a calcium channel blocker prescribed to treat patients suffering from hypertension or angina. The medication relaxes the blood vessels to allow easier circulation and reduce the amount of work required by the heart to pump the blood. This can prevent headaches, chest pain, or faintness caused by these conditions. Your doctor may also prescribe the use of this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

Dosage and Administration
Felogard (Felodipine) is typically administered once each day at a dosage of one tablet, but your particular instructions will be determined by your doctor based on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. These doses should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a snack or meal is recommended prior to use if you experience nausea. Do not split, chew, or crush the tablets to avoid unintentionally destroying or changing the effects of their contents.

Side effects
Taking Felogard (Felodipine) tablets may cause side effects, such as:

• Headaches
• Drowsiness or dizziness
• Coughing or cold symptoms
• Nausea or vomiting
• Upset stomach, diarrhoea, or constipation
• Mild joint or muscle pain
• Nervousness, restlessness, or anxiety
• Increased urination
• Warmth or flushing of the skin

Stop using the medication and contact your doctor as soon as you experience any worrying or intense symptoms such as faintness, irregular heartbeats, chest pain, difficulty breathing, tingling sensations, or a heavy feeling in the chest or spreading to the arm. These conditions may require reduced dosages, reduced administration frequency, or immediate medical attention in serious cases to prevent further complications from occurring.

Precautions
Seek immediate emergency medical attention if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms to watch for, which may be indicative of a reaction, include skin rashes, hives, swelling of the face or limbs, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.

Always use Felogard (Felodipine) as you have been prescribed by your doctor. Never self-medicate or change your dosage without first consulting your doctor. The correct dosage can vary depending on your health, medical history, and the severity of the condition being treated.
