Question 1

What is the use of Cardisip Syrup?

Accepted Answer

Cardisip Syrup is used to treat irregular heartbeats and manage the symptoms of heart failure. It works on the heart muscle directly and increases the force with which the heart muscle contracts with each heartbeat. Thereby, it makes the heart efficient in pumping blood around the body and slows down the rate at which the heart beats.

Question 2

How long does it take to show its effect?

Accepted Answer

It may take several weeks for Cardisip Syrup to show its effect. You are recommended to continue taking Cardisip Syrup for as long as your doctor prescribes it, and do not stop taking Cardisip Syrup suddenly, as it may worsen your heart problems. However, if you experience any difficulty while taking Cardisip Syrup, please consult your doctor.

Question 3

Does Cardisip Syrup cause diarrhoea?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Cardisip Syrup may cause diarrhoea as a side effect. However, it is not necessary for everyone taking Cardisip Syrup to experience this side effect. You are recommended to drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Signs of dehydration include decreased urination or dark, strong-smelling urine. Also, do not take any other medicines to treat diarrhoea without consulting your doctor. If the condition persists or worsens, please consult your doctor.

Accepted Answer

Cardisip Syrup contains digoxin (a cardiac glycoside) that works directly on the heart muscle and increases the force with which the heart muscle contracts with each heartbeat. Thereby, it makes the heart efficient in pumping blood around the body and slows down the rate at which the heart beats.
