Missed a Dose

This is a long-term heart medicine, so try not to miss a dose. If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

This medicine brings together five ingredients that each protect the heart in a different way. Simvastatin lowers the level of unhealthy fats in the blood, which slows the build-up of fatty deposits inside blood vessels. Ramipril relaxes and widens blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Atenolol slows the heart and helps it beat with less effort. Hydrochlorothiazide is a water pill that removes extra salt and water from the body, which lowers blood pressure. Aspirin makes the blood less sticky so harmful clots are less likely to form. Together they keep blood pressure and cholesterol in a healthier range and lower the chance of a heart attack or stroke.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Polycap capsule works, and this medicine can also change how other medicines act on your body. Tell your doctor about all medicines, supplements, and herbal products you are taking. In particular, if you are taking other blood pressure medicines, water pills, potassium supplements, blood thinners, or painkillers such as ibuprofen or naproxen, let your doctor know, as these may raise the risk of low blood pressure, bleeding, or changes in your body salts.

Interactions with food items

Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking this medicine, as they can raise the level of the cholesterol-lowering ingredient in your body and increase the chance of muscle pain. It is also wise to go easy on salt and to avoid salt substitutes unless your doctor approves them.
