What is Numlo D Tablet

Numlo-D Tablet is a prescription combination medicine used to treat Hypertension (High Blood Pressure). It contains two FDA-approved active salts: S-Amlodipine (2.5 mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT, 12.5 mg). S-Amlodipine is a stereoselective calcium channel blocker (CCB), while Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic. Together, they work through two distinct mechanisms to lower blood pressure effectively.

Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd, a GMP-certified pharmaceutical manufacturer, makes this medicine. S-Amlodipine relaxes the smooth muscles in blood vessel walls, allowing them to widen so blood can flow more freely and the heart works with less effort. Hydrochlorothiazide reduces blood pressure by increasing urine output and removing excess water and sodium from the body, thereby lowering the volume of blood the heart has to pump.

Take this tablet at a fixed time each day, preferably during the day rather than at night, to avoid frequent urination after bedtime. It can be taken with or without food. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. If the next dose is close, skip the missed one and never take two doses together. Do not stop this medicine suddenly without medical guidance, as blood pressure may spike sharply and raise the risk of a Heart Attack or Stroke.

Common side effects include headache, swelling (Edema), fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and sleepiness. Monitor blood pressure and electrolyte levels regularly during treatment. Monitor for signs of dehydration, such as dry skin, increased thirst, or reduced urine output, and report them promptly to your doctor. Store below 25°C, away from moisture and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

What are the benefits of taking Numlo-D Tablet

The dual-action formula in this tablet addresses Hypertension through two complementary pathways, providing the heart with better support and the blood vessels with more room to work.

Key benefits include:

• Controls High Blood Pressure: S-Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide together lower blood pressure more effectively than either ingredient alone, making this combination ideal for patients whose High Blood Pressure is not adequately controlled by a single agent.
• Reduces cardiovascular risk: By keeping blood pressure consistently within a healthier range, this medicine reduces the long-term risk of Heart Attack, Stroke, and kidney complications, benefits that build up over time even when no immediate symptoms are felt
• Reduces fluid retention: The diuretic component helps the body eliminate excess sodium and water, reducing swelling and easing the workload on the heart, further supporting blood pressure control.

Safety Advice

Liver Disease

Numlo D Tablet should be used with caution in patients with severe liver disease. S-Amlodipine is metabolised by the liver, and impaired liver function may slow its clearance, raising the risk of side effects. A dose adjustment and close monitoring of liver function are typically required under medical supervision.

Kidney Impairment

This tablet requires caution in patients with kidney disease and is not recommended in severe kidney impairment. Hydrochlorothiazide affects kidney function and may worsen electrolyte imbalance or reduce filtration capacity, so regular monitoring of kidney function and electrolyte levels is essential during treatment.

Pregnant and Breastfeeding women

Adequate safety data for Numlo D Tablet during pregnancy and breastfeeding are currently unavailable. Given that both S-Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide carry potential risks in these populations, this medicine should only be used if a doctor determines it is clearly necessary and no safer alternative exists.

Avoid

Do not consume alcohol while taking this medicine, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure and worsen dizziness. Avoid taking non-NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen without medical advice, as they can reduce the blood pressure-lowering effect of Hydrochlorothiazide. Patients with Diabetes should monitor blood sugar levels carefully, since Hydrochlorothiazide may raise glucose levels. Those with Gout should note that this medicine can increase uric acid levels, which may trigger a flare. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice should also be avoided, as they may interfere with S-Amlodipine's metabolism and cause an excessive drop in blood pressure.
