Rasilez 150mg Tablet

Rasilez 150mg Tablet is a tablet made by Novartis Pharma (pakistan)ltd that contains Aliskiren 150mg, a direct renin inhibitor. It is used for high blood pressure. Pack size: 2×7 tablets.

Uses of Rasilez 150mg Tablet

Rasilez 150mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults, either on its own or with other blood pressure medicines. Bringing blood pressure down reduces the strain on the heart and blood vessels and lowers the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage. It is usually considered when more commonly used medicines are unsuitable or not enough.

How Rasilez 150mg Tablet works

Aliskiren blocks renin, an enzyme made by the kidneys that starts a chain of hormone reactions leading to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II narrows blood vessels and makes the body hold on to salt and water, so blocking the chain at its start relaxes the vessels and lowers blood pressure.

Possible side effects

Rasilez 150mg Tablet is usually well tolerated. Side effects reported include:

• Diarrhoea

Get emergency help for swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat or any difficulty breathing, and seek advice for fainting, severe diarrhoea or a marked drop in urine output.
