AZELNIPRIME 8

AZELNIPRIME 8 is an advanced antihypertensive medication containing Azelnidipine (8 mg), a long-acting calcium channel blocker that effectively manages high blood pressure (hypertension). It is specially formulated to ensure 24-hour blood pressure control with minimal side effects, offering cardiovascular protection and reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other hypertension-related complications. With its slow onset of action, AZELNIPRIME 8 avoids excessive blood pressure drops and ensures smooth and sustained control throughout the day.

Key Ingredient:

Azelnidipine (8 mg):
A third-generation dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker known for its dual action — reducing blood pressure and protecting the heart. Unlike other calcium channel blockers, Azelnidipine has a gradual onset, making it safer and better tolerated, especially in elderly patients.

Key Benefits:

• Provides long-acting control of high blood pressure

• Reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage

• No reflex tachycardia, making it heart-friendly

• Helps improve vascular compliance and circulation

• Minimal side effects such as swelling or headache compared to older calcium channel blockers

• Well tolerated in diabetic, elderly, and renal-compromised patients

How Does It Work?

AZELNIPRIME 8 works by blocking the L-type calcium channels in the smooth muscles of blood vessels. This leads to vasodilation, or relaxation of blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily and lowers the overall blood pressure. Unlike many other calcium channel blockers, Azelnidipine also exhibits antioxidant properties and has a slow onset of action, which avoids sudden drops in blood pressure and related complications such as dizziness or fainting.

Directions for Use:

• Take AZELNIPRIME 8 once daily, preferably in the morning, or as prescribed by your doctor.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew.

• It can be taken with or without food, but consistent timing is advised.

• Continue the medication even if you feel well; high blood pressure often has no symptoms.

• Regularly monitor your blood pressure and follow your doctor's instructions regarding diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.
