• Dizziness
• Headache

Precautions:

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Angiotan-H Tablet is not recommended during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters, as it can cause harm to the developing fetus. It is also not recommended during breastfeeding.
• Kidney Function: Patients with preexisting kidney problems may require dosage adjustments or close monitoring while taking Angiotan-H Tablet. Regular monitoring of kidney function tests may be necessary.
• Potassium Levels: Since Angiotan-H Tablet can increase potassium levels in the blood, it should be used with caution in individuals with conditions that predispose them to high potassium levels, such as kidney disease or diabetes.
• Dehydration: It's important to maintain adequate hydration while taking Angiotan-H Tablet, particularly in hot weather or during vigorous exercise, to avoid potential complications such as low blood pressure.
• Drug Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, herbal supplements, and vitamins, as Angiotan-H Tablet may interact with certain medications, including other antihypertensive drugs and potassium supplements.

Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully when taking Angiotan-H Tablet and report any concerning symptoms promptly. Do not stop taking the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation may lead to rebound hypertension or other complications
