Pharmacist Advice

• Take Avsar exactly as prescribed, usually at the same time each day.
• It may be taken with or without food, according to your doctor's instructions.
• Do not stop your blood-pressure medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor.
• Monitor your blood pressure regularly.
• Rise slowly from sitting or lying down if you experience dizziness.
• Avoid potassium supplements or potassium-containing salt substitutes unless your doctor recommends them, as valsartan may increase potassium levels.
• Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, low blood pressure, or a history of heart problems.
• Tell your doctor/pharmacist about all medicines you take, particularly other blood-pressure medicines, diuretics, potassium supplements and NSAID painkillers.
• Pregnancy requires special medical attention because valsartan-containing medicines can harm the developing fetus. Contact your doctor immediately if pregnancy occurs.
