Liskomet 250mg Tablet

Liskomet 250mg Tablet is a tablet made by Lisko that contains Methyldopa 250mg, a centrally acting blood pressure medicine. It is used for high blood pressure, including in pregnancy. Pack size: 10×10 tablets.

Uses of Liskomet 250mg Tablet

Liskomet 250mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure. Today it is mainly prescribed for high blood pressure in pregnancy, both long-standing hypertension and pregnancy-induced hypertension, because it has a long record of use in pregnant women. Outside pregnancy, newer medicines are usually preferred, but it may still be used in some people alongside other treatments.

How Liskomet 250mg Tablet works

Methyldopa is converted in the brain into a substance that stimulates alpha-2 receptors. This reduces the nerve signals from the brain that tighten blood vessels and speed up the heart. As a result, blood vessels relax and blood pressure falls.

Possible side effects

Liskomet 250mg Tablet often causes some tiredness when it is first started. Other common side effects include:

• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Blocked nose
• Low mood

Contact your doctor promptly if you develop fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, unusual tiredness or paleness, or a rash, as rarely it can affect the liver or blood.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not stop Liskomet 250mg Tablet suddenly, as blood pressure can rise sharply; your doctor will reduce it gradually if needed.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, depression, or a history of anaemia.
• It can cause a positive result on a blood test called the Coombs test, so tell the hospital you take it if you need a blood transfusion.
• Drowsiness is common at first, so avoid alcohol and do not drive until you know how it affects you.
• It is widely used during pregnancy under medical supervision, but it is usually switched soon after delivery because of a link with postnatal depression, so tell your doctor about any low mood.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
