About Macarbi CH Tablet

Macarbi CH Tablet belongs to the class of drugs called anti-hypertensive agents primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries. High blood pressure is mostly caused by obesity, diabetes, smoking, high salt intake, stress, lack of physical activity or ageing.

Macarbi CH Tablet consists of two medicines, namely: Azilsartan and Chlorthalidone. Azilsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the hormone angiotensin. This helps relax the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Chlorthalidone belongs to thiazide diuretics (water pill) which inhibits fluid retention or build-up. Thus, it relaxes the blood vessels and improves blood circulation. Together, Macarbi CH Tablet helps lower raised blood pressure.

Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Macarbi CH Tablet can cause side effects like nausea, taste changes, stomach upset, diarrhoea, headache, weakness, dizziness, and decreased blood pressure. Most of these side effects of Macarbi CH Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Before taking Macarbi CH Tablet , let your doctor know if you have kidney, liver problems or severe dehydration. Avoid using Macarbi CH Tablet if you are pregnant. Breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Macarbi CH Tablet . Do not consume alcohol with Macarbi CH Tablet as it may increase the risk of side effects. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions.
