Azovas 8 Tablet contains azelnidipine (8 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Calcium channel blocking: Azelnidipine blocks the calcium channels (tiny pathways) in the muscle cells of your heart and blood vessels, preventing calcium from entering these cells. This action helps relax and widen your blood vessels.

• Blood vessel dilation: By relaxing the smooth muscles in your blood vessel walls, azelnidipine causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels). This widening reduces resistance to blood flow, helping lower your blood pressure.

• Long-acting effect: Azelnidipine has a gradual onset and prolonged duration of action, providing stable blood pressure control throughout the day.

• Heart protection: This medicine reduces the workload on your heart by decreasing peripheral resistance (the resistance to blood flow in your blood vessels), which helps protect your heart from strain.

• Store this tablet in a cool, dry place at temperatures below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Store it in its original packaging until ready to use.

• Keep out of reach and sight of children.

• Do not use it after the expiration date printed on the package.

• Dispose of unused medicine properly as advised by your pharmacist.

• Reduce salt intake in your diet, as high sodium can worsen high blood pressure, which azelnidipine helps manage. Try flavouring food with herbs and spices instead.

• Engage in regular moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking for 30 minutes daily, to help lower blood pressure naturally alongside your medicine.
