Uses of Giftan 50 MG Tablet
What is it prescribed for?
Hypertension
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a condition in which your blood pressure is consistently higher than normal. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but if left untreated, it may increase your risk of heart problems and stroke (damage to your brain resulting from reduced/blocked blood supply). Giftan 50 MG Tablet is used in the treatment of hypertension.
Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic Nephropathy is a condition that causes damage to the kidneys due to increased blood sugar levels. This results in increased protein levels in your urine. Giftan 50 MG Tablet is used in the treatment of kidney problems if you have type-II diabetes mellitus and hypertension. It helps protect your kidneys and prevent further damage.
Hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the thickening of the left chamber of the heart resulting in decreased pumping efficiency. It may occur if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure. Giftan 50 MG Tablet helps to reduce the risk of stroke if you have high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
