WHAT DOLAPRIL IS USED
FOR
DOLAPRIL is used to treat:
•
high blood pressure
(hypertension)
•
some heart conditions.
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. You may feel fine and
have no symptoms, but eventually
hypertension can lead to serious
health problems, including stroke,
heart disease and kidney failure.
DOLAPRIL helps to lower your blood
pressure.
DOLAPIRL belongs to a group of
medicines called Angiotensin
Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
It works by relaxing your blood
vessels, making it easier for blood
to move around your body. This
helps lower blood pressure and
increase the supply of blood and
oxygen to the heart.
Your doctor may have prescribed
DOLAPRIL for another reason. Ask
your doctor if you have any
questions about why DOLAPRIL has
been prescribed for you.
DOLAPRIL is not addictive.
This medicine is available only with
a doctor's prescription.
DOLAPRIL is not recommended for
use in children as there have been
no studies of its effects in children.

OSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
DOLAPRIL has a duration of action greater than 24 hours and should not
be administered at intervals
of less than 24 hours. Monitoring of trough blood pressure should be
done initially to ensure that
control lasts over the dosing period. Should daily doses of more than
one capsule be required, they
should be administered together as a single daily dose. Since there is
no clinically significant effect
of food on the absorption of trandolapril, the capsules may be taken
before, during or after a meal.

response is usually achieved within
