Aldomet 250mg Tablets – 100 Tablets – Effective Blood Pressure & Hypertension Management

Description

Aldomet 250mg Tablets contain Methyldopa, an antihypertensive medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by relaxing blood vessels and lowering the heart’s workload, thereby reducing blood pressure. Aldomet is particularly preferred for long-term hypertension management and is often prescribed for pregnant women with high blood pressure, as it is considered safe during pregnancy under medical supervision.
