DIPWELL PLUS 10S

About

This medication is a combination therapy designed to effectively manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and associated fluid retention. It typically combines a diuretic, which works by increasing the excretion of sodium and water from the body, thereby reducing blood volume, with another antihypertensive agent, such as an ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). This dual mechanism helps to relax blood vessels, improve blood flow, and lower overall blood pressure more effectively than either component alone. The synergistic action not only provides comprehensive blood pressure control but also helps to reduce the workload on the heart, thereby significantly lowering the risk of serious cardiovascular events like stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. Regular adherence to the prescribed regimen is crucial for maintaining long-term cardiovascular health.
