WHAT MONACE IS USED
FOR
Monace is used for treating high
blood pressure (hypertension) or
heart failure. Both of these are long
term (chronic) diseases so it is
important that you continue to take
your Monace tablets every day.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
(HYPERTENSION)
Everyone has blood pressure. This
pressure helps get your blood all
around your body. Your blood
pressure may be different at different
times of the day, depending on how
busy or worried you are. You have
hypertension (high blood pressure)
when your blood pressure stays
higher than is needed, even when you
are calm and relaxed.
There are usually no symptoms of
hypertension. The only way of
knowing that you have hypertension
is to have your blood pressure
checked on a regular basis. If high
blood pressure is not treated it can
lead to serious health problems,
including stroke, heart disease and
kidney failure.
HEART FAILURE
Heart failure means that the heart
muscle is weak and cannot pump
blood strongly enough to supply all
the blood needed throughout the
body. Heart failure is not the same as
heart attack and does not mean that
the heart stops. Heart failure may
start off with no symptoms, but as the
condition progresses, patients may
feel short of breath or may get tired
easily after light physical activity
such as walking. Some patients may
wake up short of breath at night.
Fluid may collect in different parts of
