Used For:

• Co-Novatec tablets are primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). They may also help in the management of cardiovascular diseases, reducing the risk of complications such as heart attacks and strokes.

• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing blood pressure.
• Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a thiazide diuretic that works by eliminating excess sodium and water from the body, thereby decreasing blood volume and lowering blood pressure.

• Common side effects may include:

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Fatigue
  • Increased urination (due to HCTZ)
  • Headache
  • Swelling of the ankles or feet (from amlodipine)

  • Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension)
