ALDOMED TABLET 250MG – ANTIHYPERTENSIVE MEDICATION

Description: Aldomed Tablet 250mg (commonly known as Aldomet or generic methyldopa) contains methyldopa 250 mg (equivalent to anhydrous methyldopa). This centrally acting antihypertensive works by stimulating alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the brain, leading to reduced sympathetic outflow, relaxation of blood vessels, and lowered blood pressure. It helps decrease the workload on the heart and arteries.

In Nigeria, Aldomed 250mg is commonly prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), including in pregnant women where it is often preferred due to its safety profile. It may be used alone or with other antihypertensives. It is NAFDAC-registered (e.g., listed in NAFDAC Greenbook) and available through trusted pharmacies like Sanlive for safe and effective use.

Important: For oral use only. Take exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice (may cause rebound hypertension). Avoid use in individuals with active liver disease, depression, pheochromocytoma, or known hypersensitivity to methyldopa without medical supervision. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, liver function, and blood counts is recommended. Not for acute hypertensive crises.
