Will I need to stop taking AB-Lol 50mg Tablet before surgery?

Your doctor may advise you to stop taking AB-Lol 50mg Tablet for 24 hours before surgery. This is because AB-Lol 50mg Tablet can lower your blood pressure too much when its use is combined with some anesthetics.

What happens on taking more than the recommended dose of AB-Lol 50mg Tablet?

Taking more than the recommended dose of AB-Lol 50mg Tablet can lead to a drop in blood pressure and slowing of the heart rate, difficulty breathing, or a drop in blood sugar, which can cause sweating or confusion.

How long does AB-Lol 50mg Tablet take to work?

If you are taking AB-Lol 50mg Tablet for high blood pressure, it may lower your BP within 1-3 hours of taking it.
