Description
Product Introduction:
Pinom H 40 Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). If left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to serious health issues such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure. This medication combines two active ingredients, Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, which work together to help lower blood pressure in different ways.
Key Ingredients:
- Olmesartan Medoxomil (40mg): This is an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) that works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow. This helps to lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart.
- Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg): A diuretic (water pill) that increases the amount of urine produced by the kidneys, reducing the amount of fluid in the body and helping to lower blood pressure.
Key Benefits:
- Controls High Blood Pressure: Pinom H 40 Tablet helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the risk of complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure.
- Dual Action: The combination of Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide targets hypertension in two ways—by relaxing blood vessels and reducing fluid retention—providing more effective blood pressure control than either medicine alone.
- Long-term Heart Protection: Regular use of this medicine helps manage hypertension, thereby lowering the risk of heart problems, strokes, and kidney damage.
Uses of Pinom H Tablet:
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): It is primarily used to control high blood pressure, which in turn helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.

How to Use Pinom H Tablet:
- Dosage: Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose will depend on your individual condition and response to the medicine.
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.
- With or Without Food: Pinom H 40 Tablet can be taken with or without food. However, it is recommended to take it at the same time each day for better consistency.
- Timing: Since this medication includes a diuretic (Hydrochlorothiazide), which can increase urination, it is best to take the medicine in the morning or early afternoon. Avoid taking it late in the evening to prevent frequent nighttime urination.
How Pinom H Tablet Works:
Pinom H 40 Tablet is a combination of two medicines:
- Olmesartan Medoxomil (40mg): Olmesartan relaxes and widens the blood vessels by blocking the action of Angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels. This helps lower blood pressure and eases the workload on the heart.
- Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg): Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the body get rid of excess salt and water through urination, reducing fluid retention and lowering blood pressure.
Together, these ingredients work synergistically to provide effective management of hypertension.
Safety Information:
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Pinom H 40 Tablet is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- Kidney/Liver Disease: Inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney or liver disease. Your doctor may need to adjust the dosage or monitor you more closely while taking this medicine.
- Alcohol Consumption: Drinking alcohol may lower your blood pressure further, potentially leading to dizziness or fainting. It is best to limit alcohol intake or avoid it while on this medication.
- Regular Monitoring: As high blood pressure often has no symptoms, regular monitoring of your blood pressure is important to ensure that the medicine is working effectively.
