Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does the inhaler work?

How long does Zycard take to work?
Zycard usually starts to lower blood pressure within 2-4 weeks of regular use.
Can Zycard Plus cause frequent urination?
Yes, due to the presence of Hydrochlorothiazide, Zycard Plus may increase urination, especially at the beginning of treatment.
Can I take Zycard Plus if I have kidney problems?
Zycard Plus should be used with caution in patients with kidney problems, and your doctor will monitor your kidney function closely.
Can I stop taking Zycard Plus if my blood pressure is normal?
You should not stop taking Zycard Plus without consulting your doctor, even if your blood pressure becomes normal. Stopping the medication may cause your blood pressure to rise again.
