Product Overview

Atelec Tablets 20mg is the high-strength version of this Japanese-made cilnidipine medication for hypertension. It is typically prescribed for patients with more severe high blood pressure or when lower doses (5mg or 10mg) did not adequately control the condition. Manufactured in Japan under strict quality standards, Atelec 20mg provides a potent dose of cilnidipine that effectively relaxes blood vessels to reduce blood pressure.

Dosage Guidelines

Take Atelec 20mg exactly as directed by your physician. The usual dosing schedule remains once daily after breakfast. In most cases, a single 20mg tablet taken each morning is the maximum recommended daily dose. This high dose is generally used only when 5mg and 10mg tablets have proven insufficient to control blood pressure. Do not exceed this dose unless specifically instructed by your doctor. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and do not adjust the dosage on your own. Swallow the tablet whole with water, and try to take it at the same time each day.

Possible Side Effects

Atelec 20mg, like other strengths, may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects can include:

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness (especially when standing up quickly)
  • Headache
  • Flushing (warmth or redness of the face)
  • Palpitations (noticeable rapid heartbeat)
  • Mild swelling in the ankles or feet (peripheral edema)
  • Nausea or stomach discomfort
  • Fatigue or lethargy

These effects are usually temporary and mild, but because 20mg is a higher dose, they might be more pronounced in some patients. Use caution when first starting this medication or when rising quickly from sitting or lying down. If side effects become severe or persistent, inform your doctor. Though rare, serious side effects like severe dizziness, allergic reactions (swelling of face or throat), or yellowing of eyes/skin can occur and require immediate medical attention. Always report any concerning symptoms to your healthcare provider.

FAQ

Q: What if I forget to take a dose?
A: If you forget to take your Atelec 20mg dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for the next dose. If the next dose is near, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double up on the next dose.

Q: How should I store the medication?
A: Keep Atelec 20mg in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture. Store it at room temperature (below about 30°C) and out of reach of children.

Q: Can I drink alcohol while taking this medication?
A: It’s advisable to avoid alcohol while on Atelec 20mg. Alcohol can further lower your blood pressure and increase the chance of side effects like dizziness or drowsiness. If you do drink, limit the amount and use caution as you may feel more lightheaded than usual.

Q: Can I stop taking Atelec once my blood pressure is normal?
A: You should not stop taking Atelec 20mg without your doctor’s approval. Even if your blood pressure becomes normal, the medication may be needed long-term to keep it under control. Stopping suddenly can cause your blood pressure to rise again. Always follow your doctor’s guidance when reducing or stopping the medication.
