For how long do I need to take Pinom? Is it safe to take long term?

You may have to take Pinom life long. Pinom controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Do not stop taking it even if your blood pressure is well controlled. Pinom is generally considered safe to be taken for long term. In some cases, long-term use may adversely affect the kidneys and the kidneys may not function as they should. Therefore, to keep a track of how well your kidneys are working, your doctor may prescribe regular blood tests to check urea, creatinine and potassium levels.

Does Pinom have a diuretic?

Pinom does not have a diuretic. Pinom is a medicine used to lower high blood pressure. It belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). These medicines lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. When prescribed by a doctor, Pinom can also be combined with a diuretic for providing additional benefit in the reduction of blood pressure.

At what time of the day should you take Pinom?

Your doctor may suggest to take your first dose before bedtime, considering that this medicine can make you feel dizzy. After the very first dose you can take Pinom at any time of the day. It is important to take this medicine at the same time every day.

Can I feel dizzy after taking Pinom?

Yes, the use of Pinom can make you feel dizzy. This may occur when you suddenly get up from a lying or sitting position. To lower the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.

Can I take Pinom before surgery?

Your doctor may advise you to stop taking Pinom 24 hours before surgery. This is because Pinom can further reduce your blood pressure when used with anesthetics. So, tell your doctor that you are taking Pinom if you will be given general anesthetics (medicines that put you to sleep) or are scheduled to have any surgery.
