Uses of Viskaldix 5mg/10mg Tablet

Viskaldix 5mg/10mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two medicines that lower blood pressure in different ways, which often gives better control than either one alone. Keeping blood pressure under control over the long term helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney damage. It is usually prescribed when a single medicine has not been enough.

How Viskaldix 5mg/10mg Tablet works

Pindolol is a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces the force of each heartbeat, easing the workload on the heart. Clopamide is a thiazide-like diuretic (water tablet) that helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water from the body. Together they lower the pressure inside the blood vessels.
