How does Loniten work? What will it do for me?
Loniten is used to control severely elevated blood pressure that is not manageable with a water pill and two other blood pressure pills on their own. After the first dose of Loniten, blood pressure usually starts to go down within one-half hour.
Your doctor may choose to use Loniten for other conditions. If you're unsure why you are taking Loniten, contact your doctor.
How should I use Loniten?
The recommended starting dose of Loniten is 5 mg given in two divided doses. If the desired blood pressure is not achieved, the doctor may increase the dose to 10 mg daily after three days, 20 mg daily after a further three days, and 40 mg daily after a further three days. These are only guidelines. Some people may require higher doses to keep their blood pressure under control. Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
High blood pressure increases the work of the heart and, if left for too long, may damage the heart, kidneys, brain, and blood vessels. Loniten works by relaxing the blood vessels so that the blood passes through them more easily. This helps to lower blood pressure.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as remembered. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and carry on with your usual dosing schedule. Call the doctor if you miss two or more doses in a row.
