WHAT ANPEC IS USED
FOR
There are two types of Anpec:
•
Anpec tablets (available as Anpec
40mg and 80mg,)
Anpec is used in the treatment of:
•
high blood pressure, also called
hypertension
•
angina (chest pain)
Anpec tablets are also used to treat
irregular heartbeats, also called
arrhythmias
Your doctor may have prescribed
Anpec for another reason. Ask your
doctor if you have any questions
about why Anpec has been
prescribed for you.
Anpec belongs to a group of
medicines called calcium channel
blockers or calcium antagonists.
They work by opening up blood
vessels, which lets more blood and
oxygen reach the heart and at the
same time lowers high blood
pressure. Anpec tablets also help to
control fast or irregular heartbeats.
Anpec does not change the amount of
calcium in your blood or bones.
Calcium in your diet or in calcium
supplements will not interfere with
the way Anpec works.
Anpec is available only with a
doctor's prescription.
There is no evidence that Anpec is
addictive.
