Olmesartan Medoxomil and Hydrochlorothiazide

About Olmesartan Medoxomil and Hydrochlorothiazide

OLMISTRUM 20 H is a potent combination medication designed to manage hypertension effectively. This medication harnesses the therapeutic power of Olmesartan Medoxomil and Hydrochlorothiazide, two well-established agents in the treatment of high blood pressure. By addressing the condition through dual mechanisms, OLMISTRUM 20 H not only lowers blood pressure but also contributes to the prevention of complications associated with uncontrolled hypertension, such as stroke and heart attack. This comprehensive approach ensures that patients receive optimal care with improved outcomes.

Key Benefits:

• Effective Blood Pressure Control: The combination of Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide works synergistically to lower high blood pressure more effectively than either drug alone.
• Reduced Risk of Stroke and Heart Attack: By managing hypertension, OLMISTRUM 20 H reduces the risk of cardiovascular events.
• Improved Cardiovascular Health: Helps to maintain overall cardiovascular health by managing blood pressure levels.
• Convenient Dosage: Combining two medications in one pill simplifies treatment regimens and enhances patient adherence.

How Does It Work?

OLMISTRUM 20 H utilizes a two-pronged approach to combat hypertension:

• Olmesartan Medoxomil: This ARB blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By inhibiting its effects, Olmesartan allows blood vessels to relax and widen, leading to lower blood pressure.
• Hydrochlorothiazide: This diuretic increases the amount of urine produced, helping to remove excess fluid and salt from the body. This action reduces the volume of blood, thereby lowering blood pressure.

Directions for Use:

• Dosage: Take OLMISTRUM 20 H exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical dose is one tablet daily, preferably at the same time each day.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food.
• Consistency: It is important to take the medication regularly to maintain stable blood pressure levels.
• Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Side Effects:

As with any medication, OLMISTRUM 20 H may cause side effects. Common side effects include:

• Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Often occurs when first starting the medication or when the dose is increased.
• Fatigue: Some patients may feel unusually tired.
• Nausea: A feeling of sickness may occur.
• Headache: Mild to moderate headaches can be experienced.
• Increased Urination: Due to the diuretic component.
