Inversine is used for treating severe high blood pressure. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Inversine is an antihypertensive agent. It works by relaxing and dilating (widening) blood vessels. Blood flows more freely and at a lower pressure through dilated blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure.

Most important: Inversine may cause dizziness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to Inversine. Using Inversine alone, with certain other medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or perform other potentially dangerous tasks.

Inversine may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting. Alcohol, hot weather, exercise, and fever can increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Also, sit or lie down at the first sign of dizziness, lightheadedness, or weakness.

Patients being treated for high blood pressure often feel tired or run down for a few weeks after beginning therapy. Continue taking your medication even though you may not feel “normal.” Contact your doctor or pharmacist about any new symptoms.

Before you have any medical or dental treatments, emergency care, or surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are using Inversine.

Stop taking Inversine and contact your health care provider at once if frequent loose bowel movements with stomach bloating and decreased gas occur.

Inversine is not recommended for use in CHILDREN. Safety and effectiveness have not been confirmed.

PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Inversine during pregnancy. It is unknown if Inversine is excreted in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while you are taking Inversine.
