Uses of Atpark 25 MG Tablet

What is it prescribed for?
Hypertension
Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition where your blood pressure is higher than normal. This can cause heart and blood vessel damage which can result in serious heart conditions like a heart attack or stroke. Atpark 25 MG Tablet causes blood vessels to relax which helps to reduce the blood pressure.
Angina pectoris
Angina pectoris is chest pain or discomfort due to reduced blood flow to the heart that occurs when the blood vessels are narrowed or blocked. Atpark 25 MG Tablet causes blood vessels to relax resulting in an improved blood flow to the heart. Therefore, Atpark 25 MG Tablet can be used to treat angina pectoris.
Myocardial infarction
Myocardial Infarction is a type of heart disease caused due to the blockage/reduction of blood flow to the heart muscle which causes damage to heart tissue. Atpark 25 MG Tablet is used in this condition to normalise the blood pressure if it is higher than normal which reduces strain on the heart. This decreases the risk of heart attacks and also aids in recovery after a heart attack.
Cardiac arrhythmias
Cardiac arrhythmia is a condition where the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat is irregular and improper. Atpark 25 MG Tablet is used in this condition to reduce the rate and force of contraction of the heart if it is higher than normal.

When not to use?

Allergy

Avoid taking Atpark 25 MG Tablet if you are allergic to it. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, breathing difficulty, etc.

Cardiogenic shock

Cardiogenic shock is a condition in which your heart is unable to pump enough blood to the organs. If you have this condition, taking Atpark 25 MG Tablet can further reduce the amount of blood in your blood vessels, which can lead to serious side effects and complications.
Heart block greater than first degree
There are electrical signals that control the heartbeat and cause your heart muscle to contract and pump blood properly. Heart block occurs when these signals are slowed down. Heart blocks can be first, second, or third-degree based on severity. Atpark 25 MG Tablet is not recommended to treat second or third-degree heart block that requires emergency attention.

Bradycardia

Bradycardia or slow heart rate occurs when your heart beats less than 60 times per minute. It can lead to serious heart conditions like a heart attack. Atpark 25 MG Tablet is not recommended for use in such cases as it can slow the heart rate even further which can worsen your condition and lead to other complications.
Decompensated heart failure
Decompensated heart failure is a condition where a change in the structure of heart tissue leads to the inability of the heart to pump and/or maintain normal blood pressure levels. Atpark 25 MG Tablet can further lower the blood pressure in people with decompensated heart failure which may cause a need for immediate medical intervention.
