Frequently Asked Questions
What is LORVAS SR used for?
LORVAS SR is primarily used to treat hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. It is also prescribed to reduce excess fluid retention (edema) associated with conditions affecting the heart, liver, kidneys, or lungs.
How does LORVAS SR work?
LORVAS SR contains Indapamide, which is a thiazide-like diuretic, commonly known as a "water pill." It works by acting on the kidneys to increase the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water through urine. This process helps to reduce the volume of fluid in the body and relax blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing swelling.
What is the usual dosage for LORVAS SR?
The usual dosage for LORVAS SR is one sustained-release tablet daily, preferably taken in the morning. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not chewed or crushed. It's important to take it at a consistent time each day. Your doctor will determine the exact dosage based on your condition.
What are the possible side effects of LORVAS SR?
Common side effects of LORVAS SR can include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and skin rashes. Other possible side effects may include muscle cramps, increased urination frequency, and electrolyte imbalances (such as low sodium or potassium levels in the blood). If these side effects persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor.
Is LORVAS SR safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
LORVAS SR is generally not advised during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or become pregnant while taking this medicine, inform your doctor immediately. It is also probably unsafe during breastfeeding, as the active ingredient can pass into breast milk and potentially affect the baby, and high doses might reduce milk production. Always consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Can LORVAS SR be taken with other medications?
LORVAS SR can interact with various other medications. It's crucial to inform your doctor about all medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are currently taking. Some notable interactions include other antihypertensive agents (like ACE inhibitors), cardiac medicines (such as digoxin), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and lithium.
What precautions should be taken while using LORVAS SR?
Several precautions should be observed when taking LORVAS SR. Exercise caution if you have kidney or liver disease, diabetes, gout, fluid or electrolyte imbalances (especially low potassium levels), or systemic lupus erythematosus. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can increase dizziness. Since this medicine can cause dizziness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Regular monitoring of kidney function and electrolyte levels is important during treatment.
What happens if a dose of LORVAS SR is missed?
If you miss a dose of LORVAS SR, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
How should LORVAS SR be stored?
LORVAS SR should be stored in a cool and dry place, typically below 30°C (or 25°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the medicine out of the sight and reach of children and pets.
