FAQs
Does Aladrine Tablet raise blood pressure?

Does Aladrine Tablet affect heart rate?

Why can't I lie down after taking Aladrine Tablet?
You should not lie down immediately after taking Aladrine Tablet because of the risk of supine hypertension (high blood pressure which occurs when you are lying flat on your back). Therefore, it is recommended to take the last daily dose at least 4 hours before bedtime. You can reduce the risk of supine hypertension occurring during the night by elevating the head.
Does Aladrine Tablet work immediately?

Is any monitoring required during Aladrine Tablet treatment?
