About Polycap Capsule
Polycap Capsule is used to prevent cardiovascular events and stroke. Polycap Capsule helps in lowering blood pressure, heart rate, and lipid levels and decreases the stickiness of platelets. Heart attack or stroke occurs due to the blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle. The blockade usually occurs due to the build-up of fat/cholesterol in the coronary artery. Polycap Capsule lowers the risk of heart attack or stroke by controlling the blood pressure, lowering the fat and increasing HDL (good cholesterol) levels.
Polycap Capsule contains Simvastatin (lipid-lowering agent), Ramipril (ACE inhibitor), Atenolol (beta-blocker), Aspirin (anti-platelet) and Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic). Simvastatin helps in lowering the levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides and raises the levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. Ramipril relaxes the blood vessels and allows smooth blood flow. Atenolol slows down the heart rate and makes it more efficient at pumping blood. Hydrochlorothiazide helps remove unneeded water and salts from the body. Aspirin decreases the formation of harmful clots by preventing the platelets from sticking together. Together, Polycap Capsule helps in lowering the risk of a heart attack.
Take Polycap Capsule as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as weakness, indigestion, constipation, dizziness and musculoskeletal pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not take Polycap Capsule if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or if you are trying for pregnancy. Talk to a doctor immediately if you become pregnant while taking Polycap Capsule . Consult your doctor before taking Polycap Capsule if you are breastfeeding. Polycap Capsule may cause dizziness, so be cautious while driving. Avoid consuming alcohol with Polycap Capsule as it could lead to increased dizziness. Polycap Capsule is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Inform your doctor regarding your health condition and the medicines you are taking to rule out any side effects/interactions.
Uses of Polycap Capsule
Polycap Capsule is used in the prevention of heart attack or stroke. The detailed uses of Polycap Capsule are as follows:
- Prevention of Heart Attack and Stroke: Polycap Capsule is primarily used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with multiple risk factors. It combines cholesterol-lowering, blood pressure-reducing, and anti-clotting actions to protect against heart attack and stroke.
- Comprehensive Cardiovascular Support: Polycap Capsule works by lowering LDL (bad cholesterol), relaxing blood vessels, slowing heart rate, and reducing fluid retention. This multi-pronged approach improves blood flow, reduces strain on the heart, and prevents harmful clot formation.
- Management of Hypertension and Lipid Imbalance: Polycap Capsule contains simvastatin (a statin), ramipril (an ACE inhibitor), atenolol (a beta-blocker), aspirin (an antiplatelet agent), and hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic). Together, they help control high blood pressure, optimize cholesterol levels, and reduce platelet stickiness, lowering the risk of vascular complications.
