Frequently Asked Questions
What is NEXOVAS 5 TABLET used for?
NEXOVAS 5 TABLET is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and its associated vascular disorders. It also helps in protecting end organs from the effects of hypertension and can reduce the risk of complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and angina (chest pain related to heart issues).
How does NEXOVAS 5 TABLET work?
NEXOVAS 5 TABLET contains Cilnidipine, which is a calcium channel blocker and a vasodilator. It works by blocking the entry of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, causing them to relax and widen. This action improves blood flow, reduces peripheral vascular resistance, and lowers blood pressure. It also reduces the strain on the heart and improves oxygen supply to heart muscles, which can help in managing the risks of heart attack or stroke. Additionally, it can suppress the reflex increase in heart rate that sometimes occurs after blood pressure reduction.
What is the usual dosage of NEXOVAS 5 TABLET?
The usual adult dosage is 5-10 mg once daily, preferably after breakfast. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your condition. In some cases, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 20 mg once daily. It is important to take the medicine at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels and not to stop it abruptly without consulting your doctor.
What are the possible side effects of NEXOVAS 5 TABLET?
Common side effects include swelling of the ankles or other body parts (peripheral edema), headache, dizziness, flushing (redness and warmth of the skin), sleepiness, palpitations (fast heartbeat), stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, tiredness, weakness, and increased urination at night. Less common side effects can include skin rashes, gingival hyperplasia (enlargement of gums), muscle pain, eye pain, and a decrease in blood pressure. Most side effects are usually mild and temporary, but if any persist or worsen, you should contact your doctor.
Is NEXOVAS 5 TABLET safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
NEXOVAS 5 TABLET should be used with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It should only be used in pregnant women if considered necessary by a physician. For breastfeeding women, it should be used with caution as it may pass into breast milk. If its administration is indispensable, the patient may be advised to discontinue lactation. Always consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Can NEXOVAS 5 TABLET be taken with other medications?
NEXOVAS 5 TABLET can interact with certain medications. Inform your doctor about all medicines, herbal preparations, and supplements you are currently taking.

What precautions should be taken with NEXOVAS 5 TABLET?
Before taking NEXOVAS 5 TABLET, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems, severe low blood pressure (hypotension), edema, congestive heart failure, or other severe heart problems such as narrowing of heart valves or a recent heart attack. It is also important to avoid grapefruit juice as it can interfere with the medication's processing. Caution is advised when consuming alcohol as it may increase the risk of dizziness and drowsiness. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is recommended.
What happens if a dose is missed?
If you miss a dose of NEXOVAS 5 TABLET, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is 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 compensate for the missed one.
