Alenevia

Alenevia is a brand name for the active ingredient aliskiren, which is a medication used to treat high blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. Alenevia is typically prescribed as an alternative to other blood pressure medications, such as ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers, for patients who cannot tolerate these drugs due to side effects like cough or angioedema. It is available in tablet form and is usually taken once daily. Common side effects of alenevia include dizziness, fatigue, and headache. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions, kidney problems, and low potassium levels. Alenevia should be used with caution in patients with liver or kidney disease, as well as those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is important to follow the advice of a healthcare provider when taking alenevia, as it may interact with other medications or have specific contraindications.
