Manufactured By: Werrick Pharmaceuticals
Used For:
- Primary Use: Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), especially in patients who may benefit from a multi-action approach to achieve effective blood pressure control.
- Reducing risk of cardiovascular events: Effective blood pressure management with medications like Newday HCT may help reduce the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney issues.
Side Effects:
Common Side Effects:
- Dizziness or lightheadedness: Common, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose.
- Headache
- Swelling in extremities (ankles, feet): Often due to amlodipine.
- Fatigue or muscle cramps: Often related to the diuretic component.
- Increased urination: Due to the diuretic effect of hydrochlorothiazide, which may cause frequent bathroom visits.
Less Common but Serious Side Effects:
- Low blood pressure (hypotension): Can cause symptoms like fainting or dizziness, especially if dehydrated or in hot weather.
- Electrolyte imbalances: Hydrochlorothiazide may cause low potassium, magnesium, or sodium levels, which can lead to symptoms like irregular heartbeats, muscle weakness, or confusion.
- Kidney problems: Valsartan can affect kidney function, especially in people with pre-existing kidney conditions.
- High blood sugar: Hydrochlorothiazide may increase blood sugar levels, which can be problematic for people with diabetes.
- Allergic reactions: Hives, itching, difficulty breathing, or swelling, especially if allergic to sulfa drugs (hydrochlorothiazide contains a sulfonamide component).
Precautions:
-
Regular Monitoring:
- Blood pressure and kidney function should be monitored regularly to ensure the medication is effective and does not cause adverse effects on the kidneys.
-
Electrolyte Levels:
- Regular blood tests to check electrolytes (potassium, sodium, magnesium) are essential to avoid imbalances, especially if you experience unusual symptoms like muscle cramps or irregular heartbeats.
-
Avoid Dehydration:
- Hydrochlorothiazide can lead to dehydration, which can worsen side effects like dizziness and hypotension. Drink enough water and avoid excessive alcohol.
-
Use in People with Kidney or Liver Disease:
- People with pre-existing kidney or liver issues should use Newday HCT with caution, as it can impact these organs.
-
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
- This medication should not be used during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, as Valsartan can harm the fetus. Consult your doctor regarding safe alternatives.
-
Avoid Overheating:
- Due to the diuretic component, excessive sweating or heat exposure can lead to dehydration, so it’s essential to stay cool and hydrated.
-
Alcohol:
- Alcohol can intensify dizziness and low blood pressure. Limit alcohol intake while on this medication.
