Product Introduction
Olmat 40 H Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to serious health complications like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure. This medication works by combining two active ingredients, Olmesartan Medoxomil and Hydrochlorothiazide, to manage and control blood pressure effectively.
Salt Composition:
- Olmesartan Medoxomil (40mg)
- Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg)
Benefits:
- Effective Blood Pressure Control: Olmat 40 H Tablet is typically prescribed when one medication alone is not sufficient to manage high blood pressure. By combining Olmesartan with Hydrochlorothiazide, it works to relax blood vessels and reduce fluid retention, providing better control of blood pressure.
- Reduces Risks: Maintaining blood pressure within a healthy range lowers the risk of developing serious complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.
- Long-Term Effectiveness: Though you may not feel immediate effects, Olmat 40 H works gradually to keep your blood pressure under control over time, promoting overall cardiovascular health.
How It Works:
- Olmesartan helps lower blood pressure by blocking the action of a hormone (angiotensin II) that normally causes blood vessels to constrict. This leads to the relaxation and widening of blood vessels.
- Hydrochlorothiazide, the diuretic, increases urine production, helping the body eliminate excess sodium and water. This reduces fluid buildup and also contributes to lower blood pressure.
Side Effects:
While most side effects are mild and temporary, some common ones include:
- Dizziness
- Weakness
- Tiredness
- Edema (swelling)
- Chest pain
- Headache
- Increased triglyceride or uric acid levels
- Abdominal pain
- Back pain
In rare cases, more serious side effects such as increased liver enzymes, blood in urine, or increased blood urea may occur. If any side effects persist or cause concern, it’s important to consult your doctor.
How to Use:
- Take Olmat 40 H Tablet as prescribed by your doctor.
- Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew, crush, or break it.
- You can take it with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time every day.
- Avoid taking the medication close to bedtime as it contains a diuretic, which may cause frequent urination.
