Aldomet 250mg Tablets contain methyldopa, a centrally acting antihypertensive medicine that lowers blood pressure by reducing sympathetic nerve activity. This helps relax blood vessels and decreases the workload on the heart.
Methyldopa is used in the treatment of hypertension and is particularly recognised for its use in the management of hypertension during pregnancy under specialist medical supervision. Effective blood pressure control helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, and kidney complications.
Treatment should be individualised, particularly in patients with kidney impairment, as dose adjustments may be required.
