Description
Olmesar 40 Tablet contains Olmesartan Medoxomil (40mg), an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). By lowering blood pressure, it helps prevent serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage, and also helps preserve kidney function in patients with diabetes.
This medicine works by blocking angiotensin II, a natural substance that tightens blood vessels. As a result, blood vessels relax, blood pressure falls, and the heart pumps more efficiently.
How to use:
Olmesar 40 Tablet may be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day to ensure consistent control of blood pressure. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew or crush. Continue taking the medicine regularly, even if you feel well, since high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
Lifestyle advice:
For best results, combine medication with lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, weight management, reduced salt intake, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption.
Possible side effects:
Most side effects are temporary and improve as your body adjusts. Common side effects may include dizziness, cough, diarrhea, headache, nausea, indigestion, flu-like symptoms, runny nose, sore throat, stomach pain, muscle or joint pain. Rarely, chest pain or blood in urine may occur—seek medical attention if these appear.
