About Pop-20Mg Tablet

Pop-20Mg Tablet is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart-related chest pain (angina), heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) and preventing symptoms of migraine headache and tremors (fits). It affects our heart and blood circulatory system, especially controlling blood through arteries and veins. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.

Pop-20Mg Tablet plays a vital role in relaxing our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. This lowers your blood pressure and helps reduce your risk of a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective.

You can take Pop-20Mg Tablet orally with or without food or as directed by your physician. Swallow the whole tablet with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Pop-20Mg Tablet is preferable to take at the same time every day for better results. Pop-20Mg Tablet is generally safe to consume. You may have common side effects like feeling dizzy or exhausted, cold hands or feet, difficulty sleeping, and nightmares. These side effects are usually mild and short-lived. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
