FAQs
Q. Does Ihd 20mg Tablet affect heart rate?
Yes, Ihd 20mg Tablet may affect the heart rate. Ihd 20mg Tablet causes a decrease in blood pressure. This decrease in blood pressure further causes a decrease in the heart rate (bradycardia). In some cases, it may also cause an increase in the heart rate (tachycardia). Consult your doctor in case you do not feel well after taking this medicine or if you notice a change in your heart rate.
Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Ihd 20mg Tablet?
You can take the forgotten dose of Ihd 20mg Tablet if you remember it within 12 hours. However, if you remember it after 12 hours of the scheduled time, then skip the missed dose and continue with the next dose.
Q. Can I stop taking Ihd 20mg Tablet after sometime?
No, do not stop taking this medicine without talking to your doctor. Stopping it suddenly may increase your chances of having an anginal attack. If you have any concerns regarding Ihd 20mg Tablet consult your doctor.
Q. What are the symptoms of an overdose of Ihd 20mg Tablet?
Taking more than the recommended dose of Ihd 20mg Tablet may cause throbbing headache, reddening of the skin, chills along with sweating, nausea, vomiting, and a fast heartbeat. Seek emergency help and consult your doctor immediately if you take more than the recommended dose of this medicine.
Q. Can Ihd 20mg Tablet be taken at night?
Depending upon the dose, your doctor may recommend you to take this medicine once or twice daily. When a single dose is recommended, then it is preferred to be taken in the morning. If taking it twice a day, maintain a gap of 7 hours between the two doses. This helps decrease the chances of Ihd 20mg Tablet becoming ineffective (tolerance) after some time.
Q. Does Ihd 20mg Tablet lower BP?
Yes, Ihd 20mg Tablet can cause a fall in blood pressure. This medicine widens the blood vessels and decreases the resistance in them, causing a fall in blood pressure. This fall in blood pressure may in turn decrease the heartbeat which can lead to angina. This medicine should be avoided in people who already have low blood pressure. Discuss with your doctor if you have any concerns.
Q. Can I take sildenafil while taking Ihd 20mg Tablet?
No, you should not take sildenafil along with Ihd 20mg Tablet. Both these medicines lower blood pressure and belong to the same class.

Along with this, also avoid taking other medicines belonging to similar classes such as vardenafil and tadalafil.
