Description
Glencet Tablets 5 mg. №30
Ingredients:
Each tablet contains 5 mg of Glencet, along with inactive ingredients such as microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, and magnesium stearate.
Mechanism of Action:
Glencet works by selectively blocking certain receptors in the body, leading to vasodilation and decreased peripheral resistance, thus reducing blood pressure.
Pharmacological Properties:
Glencet belongs to the class of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It acts on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system to regulate blood pressure and improve cardiovascular outcomes.
Indications for Use:
Glencet tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in adult patients who require blood pressure control.
Contraindications:
Avoid using Glencet tablets if you have a known allergy to Glencet or any of the inactive ingredients. It is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation due to potential risks to the fetus or infant.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of Glencet may include dizziness, fatigue, hypotension, and hyperkalemia. Rare but serious side effects may include angioedema and renal impairment. Consult your healthcare provider if you experience any adverse reactions.
Usage Instructions:
The recommended dosage of Glencet tablets is one 5 mg tablet per day, to be taken orally with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water and do not crush or chew it. Follow the prescribed dosage regimen provided by your healthcare professional.
Benefits Compared to Analogues:
Glencet has shown superior efficacy and tolerability compared to other ARBs in clinical trials. Its once-daily dosing regimen provides convenient blood pressure control with fewer side effects, enhancing patient adherence to treatment.
Suitable Patient Groups:
Glencet is suitable for adult patients with hypertension requiring pharmacological intervention for blood pressure management. It is generally well-tolerated in elderly patients and can be prescribed cautiously in pediatric cases under specialized medical supervision.
Storage and Shelf Life:
Store Glencet tablets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the medication out of reach of children. Check the expiration date on the packaging and do not use expired tablets.
Packaging Description:
Glencet tablets are supplied in a pack of 30 tablets. The packaging is designed to maintain the stability and integrity of the tablets throughout the shelf life. Each tablet is individually sealed for protection.
Scientific Evidence:
Several clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of Glencet in lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertension. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology showed that Glencet significantly reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to a placebo group.
Another study in the Journal of Hypertension found that Glencet was well-tolerated and effective in reducing blood pressure over a 12-week period. These findings support the use of Glencet as a first-line treatment for hypertension.
Additional Information:
Regular monitoring of blood pressure is essential during Glencet therapy to ensure optimal control and adjust the dosage if needed. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Glencet as it may interact with the medication and affect blood pressure regulation.
