Product introduction
Nexovas TC Tablet is a three-in-one prescription medicine used to bring stubborn high blood pressure under control. It combines an angiotensin receptor blocker, a calcium channel blocker, and a diuretic so that blood pressure can be managed through three different pathways at once. Doctors usually prescribe it when a single blood-pressure medicine has not been enough to reach target levels. Because it acts on multiple systems together, it is generally reserved for patients who need more comprehensive control.
Storage: Store below 25°C, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Nexovas TC Tablet contain three different medicines?
Each ingredient lowers blood pressure through a different route, so combining them gives stronger control than any one medicine alone, especially when a single drug hasn't worked well enough.
Can I stop taking it once my blood pressure is back to normal?
No, you should not stop on your own. Blood pressure medicines control the condition rather than cure it, and stopping suddenly can cause your numbers to rise again.
Will this tablet cause my ankles to swell?
Mild ankle or foot swelling can happen because of the calcium channel blocker component. Mention it to your doctor if it becomes bothersome or doesn't settle.
Do I need any blood tests while taking this medicine?
Yes, your doctor will likely want to periodically check your kidney function, blood pressure and electrolyte (potassium/sodium) levels to make sure the medicine is working safely.
Can this tablet be taken alongside other blood pressure medicines?
Only under medical supervision. Combining it with other antihypertensives can sometimes lower blood pressure too much, so your doctor will guide any additional treatment.
