ApREsol 20mg Injection

Description

What is ApREsol 20mg Injection? What is it used for?
ApREsol 20mg Injection belongs to a class of medicines known as potassium channel openers. It helps in the removal of potassium from the walls of arteries. This results in increased space in the arteries for the blood to flow easily, thereby reducing the workload of the heart to pump the blood. It also improves the blood and oxygen supply to your heart muscle. It is prescribed to patients with stable angina (heart-related chest pain) who cannot take other medicines (beta blockers, calcium channel antagonist) meant for the treatment of angina.

Who should not use ApREsol 20mg Injection?
People who are allergic to ApREsol 20mg Injection or any of its ingredients should avoid using ApREsol 20mg Injection. Also, patients who have heart problems such as cardiogenic shock or left ventricular failure with low filling pressure or cardiac decompensation or have a build-up of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema) should not use ApREsol 20mg Injection. Additionally, it is advised to avoid using ApREsol 20mg Injection in people taking medicines to treat erectile dysfunction (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil) or medicines to treat pulmonary hypertension (e.g., riociguat). This is because these medicines may interfere with the working of ApREsol 20mg Injection and affect your blood pressure. Fluctuations in blood pressure could also be due to low blood volume.
