Dytor 40 mg Tablet
Dytor 40 MG Tablet treats edema and reduces the presence of extra fluid that develops in the body as a result of health problems like kidney or liver disease and heart failure. Thus, the drug helps in the relief of related symptoms which may include swelling of the abdomen or hand and legs and problems with breathing.
It also effectively treats hypertension, that is, high blood pressure. This medication is known to be a water pill, encouraging the body to create more urine and helps in flushing out the extra liquid and salts.
This medication is mostly prescribed for daily consumption and can be taken before or after food. Patients are generally advised not to take this medication for about 4 hours before bedtime, as you may develop the need to urinate frequently in the middle of the night.
The dosage prescribed to you generally depends on the severity of your condition and how your body reacts to the medicine. It may interfere with your sleeping pattern. In case of patients with edema because of congestive heart failure, the dosage may vary from 10mg – 20mg in a day. Those with renal problems may be prescribed about 20mg daily.
Patients with hypertension are generally prescribed about 5mg-10mg of the drug to be taken once a day. This medication should not be discontinued prior to the doctor’s consent. It is primarily because if you stop taking this medication, it can suddenly aggravate your symptoms. This medication is meant for oral consumption and is available in tablet form.
Take recommended dosage with food or milk at the same time each day (preferably not in the evening to avoid sleep interruption). Do not miss doses, alter dosage, or discontinue without consulting prescriber. Include orange juice or bananas (or other potassium-rich foods) in daily diet; do not take potassium supplements without consulting prescriber.
Do not use alcohol or OTC medications without consulting prescriber. You may experience postural hypotension; change position slowly when rising from sitting or lying.
May cause transient drowsiness, blurred vision, or dizziness; avoid driving or engaging in tasks that require alertness until response to drug is known. You may have reduced tolerance to heat (avoid strenuous activity in hot weather or excessively hot showers).
Increased exercise and increased dietary fiber, fruit, and fluids may reduce constipation. Report unusual weight gain or loss (>5 lb/week), swelling of ankles and hands, persistent fatigue, unresolved constipation or diarrhea, weakness, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, cramps, change in hearing, or chest pain or palpitations.
Dytor 40 MG Tablet may cause agranulocytosis; use caution with clozapine and carbamazepine; may decrease lithium clearance resulting in an increase in serum lithium levels and potential lithium toxicity.
However, this is much more common and significant with the thiazide diuretics; monitor serum lithium levels; concurrent use with chloral hydrate may produce hot flashes and hypertension.
Symptoms include electrolyte depletion, volume depletion, hypotension, dehydration, circulatory collapse; electrolyte depletion may be manifested by weakness, dizziness, mental confusion, anorexia, lethargy, vomiting, and cramps.
Following GI decontamination, treatment is supportive; hypotension responds to fluids and Trendelenburg position. Dytor 40 MG Tablet may induce potent diuretic effects and, as with other potent diuretics, electrolytes and volume status needs to be closely monitored.
