Depicor 20mg Tablet can be used alone or in combination with other medicine. Your doctor will choose the dosage and frequency of administration so that you receive the proper treatment for your illness. Depending on how you respond to this prescription and your blood pressure readings, your doctor may alter the dose.

It is light-sensitive and may not function properly if left out of the pack for an extended period of time.
Continue to take it for as long as your doctor suggests. Do not stop taking this drug on your own, even if you are feeling fine, because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Your condition may worsen if you stop taking it. Blood pressure can be controlled by staying active with regular exercise, losing weight, and eating a balanced diet. While taking this medicine, follow your doctor's instructions.
Fatigue, edoema (swelling), dizziness, odd heartbeat (palpitations), flushing, constipation, and headache are the most prevalent side effects. If any of these annoy you or do not go away, see your doctor.
If you have any heart, liver, or renal problems, tell your doctor before taking it. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before taking this medicine. You should also tell your doctor about any other medicine you are taking, especially those for high blood pressure or heart problems.
