Is used for:
Lacidipine is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
Lacidipine works by relaxing and opening up the blood vessels. This allows blood to circulate more freely around the body, lowering blood pressure and allowing the heart to work more efficiently.
Do NOT use if:
Before taking lacidipine make sure your doctor or pharmacist knows:
· if you are pregnant, trying for a baby or breast-feeding
· if you suffer from liver or kidney problems
· if you have suffered from a heart attack within the last month or have any other heart problems
· if you have ever had an allergic reaction to this or any other medicine
· if you are taking any other medicines, including those available to buy without a prescription
How to use :
· Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor.
· Try to take this medicine at the same times each day to avoid missing any doses.
· If you do forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember then continue as normal. If it is nearly time for your next dose, take it on time and leave out the missed dose. Never take two doses at the same time to compensate.
· Do not stop taking lacidipine without speaking to your doctor first.
· Never take more than the prescribed dose. If you suspect that you or someone else has taken an overdose of lacidipine contact your doctor or go to the accident and emergency department of your local hospital at once. Always take the container with you, if possible, even if it is empty. Lacidipine is for you. Never give it to others even if their condition appears to be the same as yours.
