FAQ's on Cresar 20mg Tablet 15s

I am overweight and the doctor has prescribed me Cresar for blood pressure control. I am bothered that Cresar can increase my weight. Is it true?

No, do not worry since Cresar is not known to cause weight gain. In fact in animal studies Cresar has been found to decrease fat tissue.

Does Cresar affect blood glucose levels in diabetics?

Cresar may lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Therefore, it is essential to keep a regular track of your blood glucose levels. Talk to your doctor if you are a diabetic because the dose of insulin or antidiabetic medicines may need adjustment.

Should Cresar be taken in the morning or at night?

Cresar is generally recommended to be taken once daily, either in the morning or in the evening. Consider taking it at the same time each day as it will help you to remember taking it.

Can the use of Cresar cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood)?

Yes, Cresar can cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood). A regular monitoring of blood potassium levels may be advised by your doctor while taking this medicine.

Do I need to follow any precautions if I take ibuprofen and Cresar together?

If you are taking ibuprofen and Cresar together, you should continuously keep a check on your blood pressure and kidney function. Cresar may enhance the side effects of ibuprofen which may further cause water retention, especially in patients taking Cresar for heart failure. Ibuprofen may interfere with the working of Cresar and decrease its efficiency at lowering blood pressure.

How long does it take for Cresar to work?

You may see an improvement within a few days. But, the maximum benefit can be seen within 4-8 weeks of starting treatment.

If I have some kidney problem, can I take Cresar? Can it further deteriorate my kidney function?

You can take Cresar if it has been advised by your doctor. Your doctor may ask you to get regular tests done (potassium and creatinine levels) in order to monitor your kidney function. Cresar may cause worsening of kidney function, therefore you should contact your doctor in case you notice swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands or unexplained weight gain.

Does Cresar work by causing excessive urination?

No, Cresar does not cause excessive urination and does not belong to the diuretic class of medicines. Cresar works by relaxing the blood vessels by blocking the effect of a substance known as angiotensin II. This substance is responsible for increasing the blood pressure by narrowing down the blood vessels.

My blood pressure is now controlled. Can I stop taking Cresar now?

No, do not stop taking Cresar without consulting your doctor even if your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping it suddenly may increase your blood pressure which could be detrimental for you. Cresar does not cure high blood pressure but controls it. So, you may have to take the medicine lifelong. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
