Used For:

  1. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Aldomet is primarily used to treat high blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the heart's workload, thus lowering blood pressure.

Side Effects:

  • Drowsiness or dizziness: Especially at the beginning of treatment or with dose adjustments.
  • Dry mouth:
  • Headache:

Less common side effects may include:

  • Orthostatic hypotension: A sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing up.
  • Depression or other mood changes:
  • Edema (fluid retention)
  • Liver problems: Rare cases of liver toxicity have been reported.
  • Blood disorders: Such as hemolytic anemia (a reduction in red blood cells due to their premature destruction).
  • Sexual dysfunction: Including decreased libido or erectile dysfunction.

Precautions:

  • Liver Dysfunction: Aldomet should be used with caution in patients with liver problems, as it can rarely cause liver toxicity.
  • Depression or Psychiatric Disorders: Methyldopa may exacerbate symptoms of depression or other psychiatric disorders. Close monitoring is necessary in patients with a history of these conditions.
  • Orthostatic Hypotension: Patients should be cautioned about rising slowly from a sitting or lying position to minimize the risk of dizziness or fainting.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Aldomet is considered safe to use during pregnancy, but the risks and benefits should be discussed with a healthcare provider. It can be excreted in breast milk, so caution is advised while breastfeeding.
  • Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions, especially with other antihypertensive drugs or medications affecting the central nervous system.
  • Discontinuation: Aldomet should not be stopped abruptly, as it may cause rebound hypertension. Gradual tapering of the dose is recommended under medical supervision.

As always, it's important to follow your doctor's instructions and report any unusual or severe side effects promptly.
